LAN/WiFi Configuration
PPPOE
Just like the dial up protocol on which it is based, PPPoE uses traditional user name and password authentication to establish a direct connection between two
Ethernet devices on a network (such as your AirLink device and your computer or router).
Application examples for PPPoE with your AirLink device:
•
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
AirLink device using PPPoE. If you are using the AirLink device connected to a router as a backup 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 AirLink device 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.

Configure the AirLink Device to Support PPPoE
Note: You MUST disable the DHCP server for PPPoE to work.
To configure the AirLink device to support a PPPoE connection:
•
From the groups on the left, select PPPoE under LAN.
•
Change Host Authentication Mode to 2.
•
Enter a user name for PPP User ID for the PPPoE connection.
•
Enter a password (PPP password) for the PPPoE to connection.
Tip:
If you leave PPP User ID and PPP password blank, any computer or device can connect to the PinPoint device using PPPoE.
Note: ACEmanager shows the existing values for
PPP User ID
and
PPP password
encrypted and character padded.
Optional: Configure *Device Name
1.
In ACEmanager, select Dynamic DNS from the groups on the left (under
Services).
2.
Enter a name for the Device Name, such as AirLink device or the ESN.
The name you choose for Device Name will not affect the connection but may need to be configured in PPPoE settings for the router, device, or computer you will be connecting to your AirLink device.
