PPP LAN Driver


As cellular network operators to begin to tell handset makers to design an Ethernet-style interface into their products, OEMs are forced to choose between taking the expensive route of redesigning their handset hardware or trying to find a reliable and transferable off-the-shelf software driver to satisfy operator requiremenst.

The MCCI® PPP LAN (Point-to-Point LAN) driver solves this problemsupports connections to fast, contemporary cellular networks and it leverages the existing modem connection, while presenting a familiar user interface to the end user.The benefits of using MCCI PPP LAN driver software are many:

  • The cellular network connection shows up in the Network Adapters section in Windows Device Manager.
    • This gives PC users an interface they recognize.
    • PPP LAN
  • The connection is “Always On.”
    • If the connection is dropped or lost, the MCCI PPP LAN driver automatically attempts to re-establish the connection.
    • The MCCI PPP LAN driver automatically configures and dials once the mobile handset is connected, providing a much better user experience.
  • The MCCI PPP LAN driver provides the ability to independently set the TCP window size, reducing performance issues.
    • The default setting is 60KB — much too large for slow connections. Use PPP LAN to change the setting and avoid bottlenecks at the modem.
  • MCCI PPP LAN technology applies directly to mobile handset vendors’ legacy platforms.
    • No need for firmware upgrades.
Known issues found with Windows:
  • TAPI and dial-up networking on various Windows operating systems are eliminated.
    • For example, without PPP LAN, if a dial- up networking session is active while the user is entering or resuming from a suspend, the modem comes back but the TAPI line device is missing.
