Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting
multiple computer users on an Ethernet to a remote site through common
customer premises equipment. PPPoE can be used to have an office or building-
full of users share a common DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) connection to the
Internet. PPPoE combines the Point-to-Point Protocol commonly used in dialup
connections, with the Ethernet protocol, which supports multiple users in a local
area network. The PPP Protocol information is encapsulated within an Ethernet
frame.
The USB ADSL Modem supports PPPoE for WAN, LAN and ATM applications,
as presented in this section.
PPPoE for WAN Applications
PPPoE support is embedded into the WAN driver making the modem appear as
a dial-up modem to the operating system. Dial-Up Networking is used to
establish a connection.
Follow the installation instructions provided in this manual when implementing
PPPoE with the WAN driver.
