„Your DSL line’s Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI)

„Your DSL encapsulation type and multiplexing mode

„Your DSL training mode (default is MMODE)

If you use PPPoA or PPPoE, you also need these values from your ISP:

„Your username and password

If you use multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (as described in RFC 1483), you may need these values from your ISP:

„Your DSL fixed Internet IP address

„Your subnet mask

„Your default gateway IP address

„Your primary DNS IP address

„DHCP

„PPPoA (RFC 2364)

„PPPoE (RFC 2516)

„Static

„Bridged
