PPPOE
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) allows a point-to-point connection
while using Ethernet. Just like the dial up protocol on which it is based, PPPoE
uses traditional user name and password authentication to establish a direct
connection between two Ethernet devices on a network (such as your AirLink
device and your computer or router).
Application examples for PPPoE with your AirLink device:
• Backup connectivity solution for your network.
• Individualized Internet connection on a LAN.
• Password restricted Internet connection.
Only one computer, router, or other network device at a time can connect to the
AirLink device using PPPoE.If you are using the AirLink device connected to a
router as a back up Internet connection for your network, you should configure the
router to use the PPPoE connection and not the individual computers.
