8.3 Establishing a PPP Session
After you have saved your connection profile and clicked Back in the preceding screen, the following screen will be
displayed. Confirm that the PPP Status field displays Up. When PPP Status displays Up, this means that you have
established a PPP session with your Internet service provider (ISP). If the PPP Status displays Down, first ensure that
the WAN Connection field displays Up, and then click the Connect button to establish a PPP session. (Note: The
WAN Connection status must be Up to establish PPP connectivity.)
IMPORTANT: Whenever the PPP Status displays Down, you do not have a PPP session established. If your
Modem’s connection profile is set to “Always On” or “On Demand,” after a brief delay, the PPP session will be
established automatically and the PPP Status will display Up. If the connection setting is set to “Manual,” you must
click on the Connect button to establish a PPP session. Once the PPP session has been established (PPP Status
displays UP), you may proceed with your Modem’s configuration. (Refer to the preceding Edit Connection screen if
you desire to change your connection settings.) The factory default connection setting is “Always On.”
The following screen displays Up in the PPP Status field. This indicates that MainPPP is the active account profile
and that you have established a PPP session with your ISP. If you have set up multiple account profiles, they will
also be displayed in the Connection Name field, and then you must select the option button adjacent to the
connection name you want to use. Refer to section 8.2 for details on setting up connection profiles.
NOTE: If you experience problems establishing a PPP session, contact your ISP for further instructions.
After a PPP session has been established, you may browse the Internet. For example, to visit Westell’s home page,
type http://www.westell.com in your browser’s address bar and then press ‘Enter’ on your keyboard.
When you are ready to return to the Modem’s interface, type http://192.168.1.1 in your browser’s address bar, and
then press ‘Enter’ on your keyboard. Next, proceed to section 9, “Basic Mode,” to begin the basic configurations of
your Modem.
