Point-to-Point Protocal over Ethernet
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for
connecting multiple computer users on an Ethernet to a remote
site through common customer premises equipment. PPPoE can be
used to have an office or building-full of users share a common DSL
(Digital Subscriber Line) connection to the Internet. PPPoE combines
the Point-to-Point Protocol commonly used in dialup connections,
with the Ethernet protocol, which supports multiple users in a local
area network. The PPP Protocol information is encapsulated within
an Ethernet frame.

PPPoE for WAN Applications
PPPoE support is embedded into the WAN driver making the mo-
dem appear as a dial-up modem to the operating system. Dial-Up
Networking is used to establish a connection.
Follow the installation instructions provided in this manual when
implementing PPPoE with the WAN driver.

•
PPPoE for LAN Applications
PPPoE is supported via third party software when implemented
with a LAN driver, making the modem appear as a local area
network (LAN) device to the operating system. It allows multiple
computer users on an Ethernet to share a common DSL connection
to the Internet.
After installing the LAN driver, follow the installation instructions
