Configure Remote Site Profiles for PPPoE
Remote Site Profiles allow for the router to be configured to support PPP over Ethernet
(PPPoE) client on the router. The PPPoE feature on the Perle routers provide a PPPoE
client support on Ethernet interfaces to a bridging DSL modem to the Internet. This feature
will create a PPP tunnel to an ISP located somewhere on the ATM network side of the
xDSL modem. This feature eliminates the hassle and potential error of running a PPPoE
client on each LAN workstation that requires Internet access. This feature is only available
on the Perle 1730 model.
The following steps must be performed in order for the router to be configured for PPPoE
connection. The remote site set-up for the PPPoE should refer to the section for Configure
Remote Site Profiles for Leased Line PPP as the initial guideline for setting up a remote site
configuration for PPP. Afterwards the following steps transform the PPP remote site
connection to a unique PPPoE remote site configuration.

The Primary Link options will display two options LAN1 and LAN2 if the unit detects the
secondary LAN Interface module installed.
The Auto-Call field will be automatically setup to be enabled when a LAN interface is
selected as the primary link. This will allow the PPPoE connection to be established
automatically upon boot-up of the router.
To verify that PPPoE is enabled for this remote connection, view the read-only parameter

When setting up your PPPoE link with your ISP provider, one global IP addresses will be
provided that should be used for the PPPoE remote site configuration. By enabled the
NAT feature on the remote site configuration allows you to maintain only one global IP
addresses for all PC workstation on your internal LAN.
