Expert Configuration

This window holds miscellaneous information and configuration possibilities. Following fields are available:

Mode:

A PPP connection can be established in three ways:

Manually:

You have to press the Dial-In button of a particular connection.

Always-On:

The SpeedTouch™ automatically tries to establish PPP connections.

On-Demand:

A PPP connection is triggered by specific frames arriving at the Ethernet port.

Idle Time Limit:

Allows you to specify after which time limit the PPP connection is released. Otherwise stated, if no traffic passes over the PPP connection for Idle Time, the connection is closed.

Authentication allows you to select the default PPP authentication mechanism when starting the PPP session. Via the drop down box, three authentication methods can be selected for the connection:

Auto (default):

Preferably the CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) will be used. However, if not successful, PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) authentication is used instead. If in turn PAP fails, the connection will NOT be authenticated.

CHAP:

CHAP authentication is forced. If not successful, the connection will NOT be authenticated.

PAP:

PAP authentication is forced. If not successful, the connection will NOT be authenticated.

Local IP and Remote IP:

During PPP session setup IP addresses are negotiated. Typically at the client side, these fields are left empty. This forces the client to ask the server for addresses. To setup the SpeedTouch™ as PPP server, you are able to supply suitable values (according your network configuration).

Primary DNS and Secondary DNS:

During PPP session setup the BRAS will normally provide the DNS server IP addresses. Typically at the client side, these fields should therefore be left empty.

In cases where the DNS server IP addresses are not provided by the BRAS, or to setup the SpeedTouch™ as PPP server, you are able to supply suitable values (according your network configuration).

For a running PPP session the fourth tab allows you to overview following connection statistics:

IP address:

local IP address assigned by the server.

Bytes received:

Number of bytes received on this PPP connection.

Bytes dropped:

Number of bytes failed to transmit.

Bytes sent:

Number of bytes transmitted over this PPP connection.
