General Information

Summary

PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) provides a method for transmitting datagrams over serial

point-to-point links. Physically it relies on com1 and com2 ports from standard PC hardware

configurations. These appear as serial0 and serial1 automatically. You can add more serial ports to

use the router for a modem pool using these adapters:

• MOXA (http://www.moxa.com) Smartio C104H 4-port PCI multiport asynchronous board

with maximum of 16 ports (4 cards)

• MOXA (http://www.moxa.com) Smartio C168H 8-port PCI multiport asynchronous board

with maximum of 32 ports (4 cards)

• Cyclades (http://www.cyclades.com) Cyclom-Y Series PCI multiport asynchronous (serial)

cards
