This page is used to enable/disable certain parts of the negotiation process during connection establishment. Settings are available only if Quadro has a PPPoE WAN interface.
Attention: Disabling any of the services below may cause problems in establishing connections including complete connection failure. The default settings should be changed only if the ISP (Internet Service Provider) specifically requires it or if the peer system has problems with one of the services listed below.
Note: The radio buttons on this page are available if you are connected to the Internet via PPPoE. If using Ethernet as the WAN interface protocol the page is displayed but the radio buttons are disabled.
The Enable automatic PPP restart at checkbox is used to select the time when the PPP connection will automatically be restarted. The checkbox selection enables the LCP echo failures text field that indicates the number of LCP echo failure packets received before the PPP connection will be considered as dead and will be restarted.
Disable CCP (Compression Control Protocol) negotiation
This option should only be selected if the peer is erroneous and gets confused
about
requests from PPPD (Point-to-Point Daemon) for CCP negotiation.
Disable magic number negotiation
With this option, PPPD
cannot detect a looped-back line. This option should be selected only if the
peer is erroneous.
Disable protocol field compression negotiation in both the receive and the
transmit direction
No protocol field compression will take place.
Disable Van Jacobson style TCP/IP header compression in both the transmit
and the receive direction
No negotiation of TCP/IP header compression will take place and the header will
be sent always uncompressed.
Disable the connection-ID compression option in Van Jacobson style TCP/IP
header compression
With this option, PPPD will
not omit the connection-ID byte from Van Jacobson compressed TCP/IP headers and will not
ask the peer to do so.
Disable the IPXCP and IPX protocols
This option should only be selected if the peer is erroneous and gets confused by
requests from PPPD for IPXCP negotiation.
