Nailed-Up Connection

A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic demand.

The Prestige does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The first is that idle timeout is

disabled. The second is that the Prestige will try to bring up the connection at power-on and whenever the

connection is down. Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-rate

service or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern.

9.2.3 PPPoE Encapsulation

The Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard

(RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable,

wireless, etc.) connection.

For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access

control systems (e.g., Radius). For the user, PPPoE provides a login and authentication method that the

existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, and therefore requires no new learning or

procedures for Windows users.

One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services, a

function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer

new IP services for specific users.

Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific

configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.

By implementing PPPoE directly on the Prestige (rather than individual computers), the computers on the

LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the Prestige does that part of the task. Furthermore, with

NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.

Enable PPPoE in menu 11.1 by pressing the

[SPACE BAR]

to select

PPPoE

in the

Encapsulation

field.

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

Authen

This field sets the authentication protocol used for outgoing calls.

Options for this field are:

CHAP

/

PAP

- Your Prestige will accept either

CHAP

or

PAP

when requested by this remote node.

CHAP

- accept CHAP only.

PAP

- accept PAP only.

CHAP/PAP

Telco Option

Allocated Budget

(min)

The field sets a ceiling for outgoing call time for this remote

node. The default for this field is 0 meaning no budget control.

10

Period(hr)

This field is the time period that the budget should be reset. For

example, if we are allowed to call this remote node for a

maximum of 10 minutes every hour, then the

Allocated

Budget(min)

is (10 minutes) and the

Period(hr)

is 1 (hour).

earlier in this section.

Idle Timeout

This value specifies the idle time (i.e., the length of time there is

no traffic from the Prestige to the remote node) in seconds that

can elapse before the Prestige automatically disconnects the

PPPoE connection.

FIELD

DESCRIPTION

EXAMPLE

IP Address

Assignment

If your ISP did not assign you an explicit IP address, select

Dynamic

; otherwise select

Static

and enter the IP address & subnet

mask in the following fields.

Dynamic

Rem IP

Address

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the IP address assigned to

you by your ISP.

Rem IP

Subnet

Mask

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the subnet mask assigned

to you.

Gateway IP

Addr

This field is applicable to

Ethernet

encapsulation only. Enter the

gateway IP address assigned to you if you are using a static IP

address.

My WAN

Addr

If you have a Static IP Assignment, enter the gateway IP address

assigned to you.

My WAN

Addr

This field is applicable to

PPPoE

and

PPTP

encapsulations only.

Some implementations, especially the UNIX derivatives, require the

WAN link to have a separate IP network number from the LAN and

each end must have a unique address within the WAN network

number. If this is the case, enter the IP address assigned to the

WAN port of your Prestige.

Note that this is the address assigned to your local Prestige, not the

remote router.

Translation

. See the

SUA Only

Metric

This field is valid only for PPTP/PPPoE encapsulation. The metric

represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. RIP

routing uses hop count as the measurement of cost, with a minimum

of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number that

approximates the cost for this link. The number need not be precise,

but it must be between 1 and 15. In practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good

number.

3

Private

This field is valid only for PPTP/PPPoE encapsulation. This

parameter determines if the Prestige will include the route to this

remote node in its RIP broadcasts. If set to

Yes

, this route is kept

private and not included in RIP broadcast. If

No

, the route to this

remote node will be propagated to other hosts through RIP

Yes
