Setting up the Interfaces of the Services Ready Platforms Setting up the WAN Interface 4 Ethernet WAN Interface Settings Field Description PPPoE Choose this option if your ISP uses PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). Enter the User Name and Password for your ISP account and the Service Name if required by your ISP. Select either the Connect on Demand or Keep Alive option. Connect on Demand Opens a connection only when a user attempts to connect to the Internet. The connection automatically terminates if there is a period of inactivity longer than the specified Max Idle Time (in minutes). We recommend this option if your billing is based on the time that you are connected. NOTE PCs often send information to the Internet even if email or a web browser is not being used. This may keep the session connected for longer than expected. Keep Alive Keeps you connected to the Internet indefinitely, even when your connection sits idle. PPTP Select this option if your ISP uses PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol). Enter the PPTP Server IP address and the User Name and Password for your account. If your service provider does not dynamically assign an IP address, disable DHCP and enter the address, mask and gateway details provided for your account. Select either the Connect on Demand or Keep Alive option. Cisco SRP500 Series Services Ready Platforms Administration Guide (SRP520 Models) 31
