When powered on, the ADSL Barricade 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.
