Rhio10 in such environments, its IP address should be reserved on the DHCP server side. In
order to reserve the IP address in the DHCP network, the administrator needs the MAC address
of the Rhio10 found on the label sticker at the bottom of the Rhio10:
MAC=00:01:95:04:0c:a1
3.1.3 PPPoE
PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple computer users on an
Ethernet local area network to a remote site through common customer premises equipment,
which is the telephone company's term for a modem and similar devices. PPPoE can be used to
have an office or building-full of users share ADSL, cable modem, or wireless connection to the
Internet. Usually, it is used in broadband Internet access such as ADSL.
To make the Rhio10 work in PPPoE mode, users should have a PPPoE account and the
equipments for PPPoE access such as an ADSL modem. Since the Rhio10 provides the
PPPoE protocol, it can access the remote host on the Internet over ADSL connection. It is
required to set up the user name and password of the PPPoE account.
If the IP mode is set to PPPoE, The Rhio10 negotiates the PPPoE connection with PPPoE
server whenever it boots up. During the negotiation, it receives the information required for
Internet connection such as IP address, gateway, subnet mask and DNS servers. If the
connection is established, the Rhio10 tries to maintain the connection as long as possible. If the
disconnection is detected, the Rhio10 will attempt to make a new PPPoE connection by
requesting the new connection.
