Selecting an IP Addressing Scheme
The NTU’s network interface IP address is assigned through the peer IP address
of the LTU’s Network Interface menu. The NTU obtains the LTU’s IP address and
subnet mask when the PPP link is established over the EOC. The LTU IP
address and subnet mask are configured from the Communication Protocol
Options menu.
The 7986 Standalone Termination Unit is assigned an IP address and subnet
through the Peer IP address of the MHDSL Network interface menu. Once the
address is assigned, you can use the 7986 Standalone Termination Unit’s ATI to
assign:
