address in the DHCP network, the administrator needs the MAC address of the Super Series found on
the label sticker at the bottom of the Super Series.
3.1.3. Using PPPoE
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple computer
users on an Ethernet LAN (local area network) to a remote site through a modem or similar device.
PPPoE can be used to multiple users the ability to share ADSL, cable modem, or wireless connection
to the Internet.
To use the Super Series in PPPoE mode, users require a PPPoE account and the necessary
equipment for PPPoE access (i.e. an ADSL modem). Since the Super Series provides a PPPoE
protocol, it can access the remote host on the Internet over an ADSL connection. The user will have to
set up the user name and password of the PPPoE account for the Super Series.
The Super Series negotiates the PPPoE connection with the PPPoE server whenever it boots up.
During the negotiation, the Super Series receives the information required for an Internet connection,
such as the IP address, gateway, subnet mask and DNS servers. If the connection is established, the
Super Series will maintain the connection for as long as possible. If the connection is terminated, the
Super Series will attempt to make a new PPPoE connection by requesting a new connection.
Note: While in PPPoE mode, all network-related parameters for the Super Series are to be configured
automatically, including the DNS servers. If the DNS server is not automatically configured, the user
may manually configure the settings by entering the primary and secondary DNS IP addresses. To
force an automatic configuration of the DNS address, set the primary and secondary DNS IP
addresses to 0.0.0.0 (recommended).
3.2. SNMP Configurations
The Super Series has the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent supporting SNMP v1
and v2 protocols. Network managers like NMS or SNMP Browser can exchange information with
Super Series, as well as access required functionality.
SNMP protocols include GET, SET, GET–Next, and TRAPs. With these functions, a manager can be
notified of significant events (TRAPs), query a device for more information (GET), and make changes
to the device state (SET). SNMPv2 adds a GET–Bulk function for retrieving tables of information and
security functions.
With the SNMP configuration panel, the user can configure MIB-II System objects, access control
settings and TRAP receiver settings. The manager configured in this menu can perform both
information exchange and action control. Figure 3-2 shows a SNMP configuration screen via a web
interface.
