WAN Setup for PPPoE (DSL)
PPPoE Connection Setup fields and buttons
Field or Button | Description | 
Options | We recommend leaving the following selected:  | 
  | • NAT — Enables Network Address Translation  | 
  | • Firewall — Enables the VT2142 firewall  | 
User name  | Your PPPoE user name provided by your DSL provider.  | 
Password  | Your PPPoE password provided by your DSL provider.  | 
Keep Alive | Sets the time before your DSL provider terminates an inactive connection. To ensure that your  | 
  | DSL link is always active, type 0 in this field. | 
Authentication Sets the authentication:
•Auto — Automatic
•CHAP — Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol
•PAP — Password Authentication Protocol
Microsoft CHAP v2 is supported in the Auto and CHAP options. MS CHAP v1 is not supported.
MTU | The maximum transmission unit for the DSL connection. It is a negotiated value that represents  | 
  | the maximum size in bytes of the packets sent over the connection. The default is 1492. The  | 
  | maximum is 1500. The minimum is 64.  | 
Override MAC | If your cable or DSL provider associates a particular service to a specific device, such as your  | 
  | computer, select this field and type that MAC address in the MAC field to use as a “virtual” WAN  | 
  | MAC address instead of the VT2142 MAC address. By default, the MAC address printed on the  | 
  | VT2142 is displayed in this field.  | 
Restore | Restores the actual VT2142 MAC address.  | 
Enforce MTU | If enabled (the default), all TCP segments must have a size within the PPPoE MTU. If you disable  | 
  | this, you may have problems accessing some Internet sites.  | 
Debug | Enables PPPoE debugging for use by technical support personnel only.  |
