Point-To-Point Protocol (PPP) is an alternate method that may be used to communicate with
the FMS. PPP can only be used through a modem, over a phone line. Both the FMS and the
user's computer must be configured correctly in order for PPP to work.
7.1. Configure the FMS
1 Access the FMS Web interface.
2 Click the Configuration link. Enter the correct user name and password (if necessary).
3 From the Configuration Menu, click on the System link.
4 On the System Configuration page, click on the IP Configuration Menu link.
The IP Configuration page lists the IP addresses configured on the FMS. Both the PPP
Server and PPP Assignment fields need to be completed in order for PPP to work.
PPP Server: Assigns an IP address to the FMS for PPP communications. Any IP address
may be used, as long as it is not in the same subnet as the FMS primary IP address. A good
example of an IP address to use is:
192.168.1.2
. Use this address to view the FMS Web
interface through a browser when communicating with the FMS through PPP.
PPP Assignment: Tells the FMS what IP address to assign to the PC the user dials in from.
Again, any IP address may be used, as long as it is in the same subnet as the PPP Server IP
address. A good example of an IP address to use is:
192.168.1.3
