PPPoE: Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet for AirLink Modems
Configuring your router for PPPoE with the AirLink modem
If your network router has PPPoE discovery, the AirLink modem will be discovered on the intranet
through PPPoE discovery process, which uses broadcast Ethernet packets. Once found, the
modem
can be designated as the primary or failover connection.
Your network router should be configured to make a PPPoE connection using the username and
password configured with *HOSTUID and *HOSTPW, and the service name configured with
*MODEMNAME (optional). It should also be configured to re-route packets through the connec
-
tion with the modem.
If you encounter problems with operation of your AirLink modem, AirLink’s support staff can
help.
