Configuring PPP Interfaces

Viewing Your Current PPP Configuration

To view your current PPP setup, log into the Configuration Manager, and click the [WAN] tab. Then click [PPP] in the task bar. The [Point to Point Protocol (PPP) Configuration] page appears, as shown in Figure 36.

Figure 36. Point to Point Protocol (PPP) Configuration Page

PPPis configured as a group of software settings associated with the ADSL port. Although the device has only one physical ADSL port, the ADSL Barricade can be defined with more than one group of PPP settings. Each group of settings is called a PPP interface and is given a name, such as [ppp-0], [ppp-1], etc.

You can configure the following settings on the [Point to Point Protocol (PPP) Configuration] page.

[Inactivity TimeOut (mins):]

This is the time in minutes that must elapse before a PPP connection times-out due to inactivity.

[Ignore WAN to LAN traffic while monitoring inactivity:]

Enabled, data traffic traveling in the incoming direction - from the WAN port to the LAN port - will not count as activity on the WAN port; i.e., the occurrence of WAN to LAN traffic will not prevent the connection from being terminated due to lack

of activity in the WAN to LAN direction.
