»» PPP Profile/PPP

The Express L768 supports the IETF standards for the Point-to-Point
Protocol. The PPP state machine running in the Express L768 can be
fine-tuned to support many applications that can be employed. The
configurable items under this menu can be changed from their default
values for special cases.

PPP/VJ Compression

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

When this item is set to

On

, the Express L768 will perform TCP/IP

header compression known as Van Jacobson compression to the PPP
peer. Normally, this is not necessary over ISDN connections and can
be set to

Off

(def) to disable it.

PPP/Max Config

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

This value is the number of unanswered configuration-requests that
should be transmitted before giving up on a call. The possible values
are 5, 10 (def), 15 and 20.

PPP/Max Timer

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

This value is the number of seconds to wait between unanswered con-
figuration-requests. The possible values are 1 sec, 2 secs (def), 3 secs, 5
secs and 10 secs.

PPP/Max Failure

Write security: 3; Read security: 5

Due to the nature of PPP, configuration options may not be agreed
upon between two PPP peers. This value is the number of configura-
tion-naks that should occur before an option is configuration-rejected.
This allows a connection to succeed that might otherwise fail. The pos-
sible values are 5 (def), 10, 15 and 20.
