B: PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) | B |
•Configuring the PinPoint X for PPPoE
•Configuring a PPPoE Connection in Windows
•Connecting to the Internet with PPPoE
PPPoE (Point‐to‐Point Protocol over Ethernet) allows a point‐ to‐point connection while using Ethernet or the USB virtual Ethernet. Just like the dial up protocol on which it is based, PPPoE uses traditional user name and password authenti‐ cation to establish a direct connection between two Ethernet devices on a network (such as your PinPoint X and your computer or router).
Application examples for PPPoE with your PinPoint X:
•Backup connectivity solution for your network.
•Individualized Internet connection on a LAN.
•Password restricted Internet connection.
Only one computer, router, or other network device at a time can connect to the PinPoint X using PPPoE.If you are using the PinPoint X connected to a router as a back up Internet connection for your network, you should configure the router to use the PPPoE connection and not the individual computers.
Tip: You may need to use Private Mode to configure the IP address of your PinPoint X to be available on a LAN.
Note: To configure a PPPoE connection on Microsoft Windows XP, 2000 or NT, you will need administrator privileges to the computer you are configuring or access granted by an administrator on the network to add/remove devices to your computer.
Configuring the PinPoint X for PPPoE
Before you can use PPPoE with your PinPoint X, you will need to configure it to support PPPoE connections.
