4.6 Main/WAN PPP – Logging Server Events
The WAN PP page is where you can set up the PPP server / client mode of your PRIMA
IP. Here you can enable either the PPP server mode, or the PPP client mode, or you
can disable the PPP modes altogether. The PRIMA IP can either serves as a PPP server
for the remote computers to dial-in for connection, or as a PPP client to dial in a PPP
server to connect to a network or the Internet. The PPP connection can serve as a
backup connection mode when direct network connection is not available or just
broken down. The PRIM IP’s high speed serial interface can offer excellent bandwidth
to PPP connections either when the PRIMA IP is connected as PPP server or PPP client.
After you have made all modifications, click Store Settings to save your settings and
then hit Apply Settings / Restart Servers to validate these new settings. Every change
you have made on this page will NOT apply until you hit Apply Settings / Restart
Servers!
PPP Modes
There are three PPP options for selection:
•
PPP Disabled: by default.
•
PPP Server mode: for connection request from a peer computer.
•
PPP Client mode: for dial-in connection to a PPP server ( your ISP or an
Enterprise PPP Server).
The PPP Server mode allows users to connect to your servers without the Internet
understructure. It can be used as a backup access in case of Internet failure or an
ultra-secure access by the use of private lines and modems.
The PPP Client mode can be used when there is no LAN or router available for a direct
Internet access by using a modem.
Note: The PPP connection can work simultaneously with the LAN connection.
Note: The PPP connection uses the same serial interface as the Power management. These two
features are mutually exclusive. By enabling the PPP you automatically disable the power
management and vice versa.
