Using PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
Overview
You can establish a PPPoE connection to the BGAN network using the TracPhone
system. Use PPPoE if you want to control your connection independently of the web
interface and the IP handset.
Possible applications are:
• Connecting a router
• Connecting broadcast equipment, optionally through a PC
• Establishing a Picocell for the use of cell phones
The following drawing shows connections managed through PPPoE and web
interface respectively.
Configuring the connected equipment for PPPoE
To use PPPoE with your TracPhone system, first enable PPPoE in your terminal.
Refer to
Enabling PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
After enabling PPPoE in the terminal, you must configure your equipment.
How to do this depends on the type of equipment. Refer to the user documentation
of the equipment. As a minimum, you need to configure the following parameters in
your equipment in order to make PPPoE work with the terminal:
• User name and password.
The user name and password can be left blank (or insert user name:
void
and
password:
void
). Then the registration on the APN is most commonly done in
such a way that the data connection is established with a dynamic IP address
from the airtime provider.
