Configure a New WAN Session
34 MM701G and MM702G User Manual
LLC Header
Select either true or false for the LLC header. The default is false. False indicates that
VCMux encapsulation is used. True indicates that LLC/Snap encapsulation is used.
IP Address
The IP address is dynamically served by the service provider for this session. When
the modem has received the IP address for this session, it displays the value in this
field. Also, the IP address dynamically received for the first PPP session set up is
assigned as the default gateway (see page 44).
If the service provider does not dynamically provide an IP address, they can give you
a static IP address that you can enter in this field.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is dynamically served by the service provider for this session. The
default subnet mask for the session is 0.0.0.0.
If the service provider does not dynamically provide a subnet mask, they can give you
a subnet mask value that you can enter in this field.
RIP Send
This session forwards RIP version 1 (Ver 1), RIP version 2 multicast (Ver2 (M-cast)),
RIP version 2 broadcast (
Ver2 (B-cast)), or all versions of RIP packets. Select the RIP
version or versions the modem will send on this session. The default is
Ver2 (B-cast).
RIP Accept
This session receives RIP version 1 (Ver 1) only, RIP version 2 (Ver 2) only, or both
versions of RIP packets. Select the RIP version or versions the modem will receive for
this session. The default is RIP
Ver 1 and Ver 2.
Authentication
Select the authentication protocol provided by your service provider for PPP sessions.
The authentication protocol type must match at the modem and the service provider.
The options are:
•
PAP—The modem sends authentication requests to the service provider and
authentication occurs only once during the life of the DSL link.
•
CHAP—The service provider returns an authentication challenge to the modem
during the authentication (default setting).
•
NONE—No authentication is required for the session.
