4.1.3  PPPoE Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an 
IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) draft standard specifying how a host personal 
computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to 
achieve access to high-speed data networks. It preserves the existing Microsoft Dial-Up 
Networking experience and requires no new learning or procedures. 
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with 
existing access control systems (for instance, Radius). For the user, PPPoE provides a login 
and authentication method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can 
activate, and therefore requires no new learning or procedures for Windows users.
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network 
services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to 
easily create and offer new IP services for specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it 
requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber’s site.

4.2  Configuring Ethernet
Click ETHERNET in the navigation panel to display the ETHERNET screen. Use the 
ETHERNET Ethernet screen to configure the Prestige’s Ethernet interfaces with Internet 
account information from your ISP. Your ISP may have already configured some of the fields 
for you. 
You can manage the Prestige through the Ethernet IP address, but you may not always know 
the Prestige’s IP address (especially if the IP address is dynamic). Use the Mgnt Port screen 
to configure a static IP address that you use to access the Prestige for 
management.
