Configuring PPP Interfaces | SMC Networks SMC7204BRA guide

CONFIGURING PPP INTERFACES

When powered on, the ADSL Barricade initiates a connection through your DSL line to your ISP.

The point-to-point (PPP) protocol is commonly used between ISPs and their customers to identify and control various communication properties, including:

•

•

•

Identifying the type of service the ISP provides to a given customer.

Identifying the customer to the ISP through a username and password login.

Enabling the ISP to assign Internet information to the customer's computers.

Your ISP may or may not use the PPP protocol. Contact your ISP to determine if you will need to change the default settings in order to connect to their server.
