3.1.3. PPP Configuration

The PPP configuration form shown in the following figure configures the test Simple IP data connections. Mobile IP connections also depend on the PPP connection; however, the PPP server address is the only parameter that is involved in a Mobile IP connection. Each parameter setup is described in this section.

Propose IP address during IPCP

Default is 192.168.14.1. This is an arbitrary address assigned to the simulated PDSN. The default value should work as long as it does not conflict with other existing network addresses. This address is used by Simple IP as the PDSN address and by Mobile IP as the source address for sending Agent Advertisements prior to the Mobile IP registration handshake.

IP address of PPP server

Default is 192.168.14.1. This is an arbitrary address assigned to the simulated PDSN. The default value should work as long as it does not conflict with other existing network addresses. The address is used by Simple IP as the PDSN address and by Mobile IP as the source address for sending Agent Advertisements prior to the Mobile IP registration handshake.

IP address to assign mobile

Default is 192.168.14.3. This address will be assigned to the mobile station for a Simple IP connection and is unlimited as long as it does not conflict with other existing network addresses. Applies only to Simple IP.

Propose PPP authentication

Default is ON. Check this option to cause the simulator to propose authentication. Applies only to Simple IP.

Permit unauthenticated PPP

Default is ON. Check this option to allow the mobile to reject the proposed authentication. The normal setting is ON. Applies only to Simple IP.

PPP user name

This is the Authentication name that will be used for dial-up networking on a PC. Applies only to Simple IP.

PPP password

This is the Authentication password (or secret) that will be used for dial-up networking on a PC. Applies only to Simple IP.
