Configuring PPP Interfaces

In addition to the properties defined on page 107, the [PPP Interface - Detail] page displays these fields:

Field

Description

 

 

 

Status:

Indicates whether the interface has been specified

 

in the system as:

 

[Enabled]

A connection will be established for

 

 

use when the device is turned on or

 

 

rebooted.

 

[Disabled]

The PPP interface cannot currently

 

 

be used.

 

[Start]

The PPP connection will be made

 

 

only when data is sent to the interface

 

 

(e.g., when a LAN user attempts to

 

 

use the Internet).

 

 

Service Name:

(This feature is available with PPPoE interfaces but

 

not with PPPoA interfaces.) The name of the ISP

 

service you are using with this PPP connection. ISPs

 

may offer different types of services (for example,

 

for online gaming or business communications),

 

each requiring a different login and other

 

connection properties.
