FIELD DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
Once you have configured this menu, press [ENTER] at the message “Press ENTER to Confirm...” to save
your configuration, or press [ESC] at any time to cancel.
22.2.2 PPPoE Encapsulation
The HomeSafe supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). You can only use PPPoE
encapsulation when you’re using the HomeSafe with a DSL modem as the WAN device. If you
change the Encapsulation to PPPoE, then you will see the next screen. Please see the appendix
for more information on PPPoE.

Outgoing Authentication Protocol
Generally speaking, you should employ the strongest authentication protocol possible, for
obvious reasons. However, some vendor’s implementation includes a specific authentication
protocol in the user profile. It will disconnect if the negotiated protocol is different from that in
the user profile, even when the negotiated protocol is stronger than specified. If you encounter a
case where the peer disconnects right after a successful authentication, please make sure that you
specify the correct authentication protocol when connecting to such an implementation.
Nailed-Up Connection
A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic
demand. The HomeSafe does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The first is
that idle timeout is disabled. The second is that the HomeSafe will try to bring up the connection
when turned on and whenever the connection is down. A nailed-up connection can be very
expensive for obvious reasons.
Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-rate service or
you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern.
The following table describes the fields not already described in Table 22-1.
