PPPoE/PPTP modem interface

Modem interfaces are used in remote connections when your modem is directly connected to your firewall via an Ethernet port. There are two types of modem interfaces:

  • PPPoE modems,

  • PPTP modems.

NOTES
  • The firewall automatically negotiates the opening of a line and reinitializes the connection in the event of an interruption. When the connection cannot be set up (e.g., issues with the line), the firewall will raise an alarm.
  • If your modem needs to be connected to the firewall’s USB port, refer to USB/Ethernet interface (for USB sticks /modems).
