When PPPoE client operation is enabled, it discovers an available server and establishes a PPPoE
link for traffic slow. When a wired WAN connection failure is detected, traffic flows through the
WWAN interface in fail-over mode (if the WWAN network is configured and available). When the
PPPoE link becomes accessible again, traffic is redirected back through the access point’s wired
WAN link.

When the access point initiates a PPPoE session, it first performs a discovery to identify the
Ethernet MAC address of the PPPoE client and establish a PPPoE session ID. In discovery, the
PPPoE client discovers a server to host the PPPoE connection.

To create a PPPoE point-to-point configuration

1. Select Devices from the Configuration tab.

The Device Configuration screen displays a list of managed devices or peer controllers, service
platforms or Access Points.

2. Select a target Access Point (by double-clicking it) from amongst those displayed within the

Device Configuration screen.

Devices can also be selected directly from the Device Browser in the lower, left-hand, side
of the UI.

4. Select Interface to expand its sub menu options.
