Configuring PPP Interfaces

When powered on, the HM210dp/di initiates a connection through your DSL
line to your ISP.

The Point-to-Point (PPP) protocol is commonly used between ISPs and
their customers to identify and control various communication properties,
including:

Identifying the type of service the ISP provides to a given customer.

Identifying the customer to the ISP through a username and
password login.

Enabling the ISP to assign Internet information to the customer’s
computers.

Your ISP may or may not use the PPP protocol. Contact your ISP to
determine if you will need to change the default settings in order to connect
to their server.
