LABEL DESCRIPTION
User Name Enter the username for PPPoE login into the WAN network.
Password Enter the password for PPPoE login into the WAN network.

Auth Protocol Select a PPPoE authentication protocol. The WiMAX Device supports the
following:
• PAP - Password Authentication Protocol uses unencrypted plaintext to send a
passwords for authentication over the network. It’s probably not a good idea
to rely on this for security.
• CHAP - The Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) uses PPP
to authenticate remote devices using a three-way handshake and shared
secret verification.
• MS-CHAP v1/2 -This is Microsoft’s variant of Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol (CHAP). It allows for mutual authentication between
devices.
MPPE Encryption Use this option to enable or disable authentication through Microsoft Point-To-
Point Encryption (MPPE) protocol.
MPPE Stateful Use this option to allow or disallow the WiMAX Device to use the Microsoft Point-
To-Point Encryption (MPPE) protocol for stateful peer negotiation.
Idle Timeout Enter the number of second the WiMAX Device waits during authentication
before timing out.
AC Name Enter the access concentrator name for the PPPoE interface if your ISP uses an
AC PPPoE service.
DNS Overwrite Use this option to allow or disallow the WiMAX Device to overwrite DNS static
DNS entries on client devices.
Connection
