PPP is a full-duplex protocol that can be used on various physical media, including
twisted pair or fiber optic lines or satellite transmission. It uses a variation of High
Speed Data Link Control (HDLC) for packet encapsulation.
PPP can process synchronous as well as asynchronous communication. PPP can
share a line with other users and it has error detection.
PPP on the primary WAN link uses synchronous point-to-point communication.
Because the physical media is point-to-point, authentication attributes are not
supported in this mode.
Enterprise Edge supports PPP Compression Control Protocol (CCP) (RFC 1962)
with STAC compression algorithm.
This compression is done by software and can be enabled or disabled by using a
parameter in PPP configurations.
Backup Up WAN Connection
In Enterprise Edge, the back up WAN connection is a V.90 modem that is used as
a dial-up WAN link.
The modem is provided through an RJ-11 connector. The modem has the following
features:
• V.90 56 kbps ITU standard
• V.34 33.6 kbps ITU standard
• V.42/MNP 2-4 error control
• V.42 bis/MNP 5 data compression
• Compatible with ITU and Bell Standards from 56 kbps down to 1200 bps
Note: The modem is capable of receiving at up to 56 kbps and sending at up to
31.2 kbps. Because of FCC regulations, receiving speeds are limited to 53
kbps. The actual speed can vary, depending on factors such as current line
noise.
