8.1.4 PPPoE Encapsulation
The Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). You can use PPPoE encapsulation
only when you’re using the Prestige with an xDSL modem as the WAN device.
PPPoE is an IETF Draft standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband
modem (i.e. xDSL, 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 (e.g., 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
