Service Information
A Network Service defines the data encapsulation and protocol characteristics for
the connection between the OCR 812 and the remote site. The OCR 812 supports
four types of Network Services: PPP, PPPoE, PPPoA, and RFC 1483. The OCR 812
and the remote site must both use the same Network Service in order for a
connection to established and maintained.
Built-in client support for PPPoE and PPPoA in the OCR 812 enables users to take
advantage of PPPoE and PPPoA authentication (both of which are widely used by
Internet Service Providers) without having to make complex software changes to
their PCs.
For PPP, PPPoE, and PPPoA network services, an authentication name and a
password must be provided to establish the connection (note that the OCR 812
supports CHAP, MSCHAPv1, MSCHAPv2, and PAP authentication).
MPPE (Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption) does not support MSCHAPv2
authentication. To use MPPE, you must set your system to use MSCHAPv1. If you
want to use MPPE but cannot select MSCHAPv1, we suggest you set encryption to
NONE (otherwise, it may be impossible to connect to sites that require some type
of encryption).
To set up a profile for PPP, use the following commands:
set vc <vc name> network_service ppp
set vc <vc name> send_name <authentication name >
set vc <vc name> send_password <authentication password>
To set up a profile for PPPoE, use the following commands
set vc <vc name> network_service pppoe
set vc <vc name> send_name <authentication name >
set vc <vc name> send_password <authentication password>
To set up a profile for PPPoA, use the following commands:
set vc <vc name> network_service pppoa
set vc <vc name> send_name <authentication name >
set vc <vc name> send_password <authentication password>
To set up a profile for RFC 1483 (which does not support authentication),
configure the Network Service using the command:
set vc <vc name> network_service rfc_1483
