Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is the standard method of connecting networked devices. It requires a user name and password to access the network of your ISP for connecting to the Internet. PPPoA (PPP over A™ ) is similar to PPPoE, but is mostly implemented in the UK. Select PPPoE or PPPoA and click “Next”. Then, enter the information provided by your ISP, and click “Apply Changes” to activate your settings.

1.User Name – Enter the user name. (Assigned by your ISP).

2.Password – Enter your password. (Assigned by your ISP).

3.Retype Password – Confirm the password. (Assigned by your ISP).

4.IP Assigned by ISP – Leave “Yes” if your ISP automatically assigns an IP address. If your ISP assigned a fixed IP address, select “No” and enter assigned values.

5.VPI/VCI – Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).

6.Encapsulation – Select your encapsulation type (supplied by your ISP) to specify how to handle multiple protocols at the A™ transport layer. VC-MUX: PPPoA Virtual Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows only one protocol running per virtual circuit with fewer overheads. LLC: PPPoA Logical Link Control allows multiple protocols running over one virtual circuit (more overhead).

7.Dial on Demand – By selecting “Dial on Demand”, your Router will automatically connect to the Internet when a user opens up a web browser.

8.Idle Time (Minutes) – Enter the maximum idle time for the Internet connection. After this time has been exceeded, the connection will be terminated.

9.MTU – The MTU setting should never be changed unless your ISP requires a specific MTU setting. Making changes to the MTU can cause problems with your Internet connection, including disconnection from the Internet, slow Internet access, and problems with Internet applications working properly.
