client is configured to dial on demand, the default gateway option will be enabled automatically). At
the beginning, the PPP interface will be shown as being up but the link will not actually be connected.
Only when there is traffic to be transmitted via this PPP interface, will the configured number be dialed
and a connection initiated.
The Dial on Demand feature requires IP addresses to be configured on for both the local and the
remote ends of the PPP connection used. These addresses are required in order to instantiate PPP
for the purpose of monitoring for traffic. Note that the local address, remote address, or both may be
overridden by the PPP server at the time a connection is actually established.
Note
Do not configure the default gateway on the router if you decide to use PPP Dial on Demand.

The RuggedRouter provides a pair of LEDs to indicate information about the modem PPP connection.
PPP-Link will be green when the modem PPP link is established. It will flash while a connection is
being established, or a console dial in session is active.
PPP-Data will flash green when there is traffic on the PPP link.
