WAN Choice: PPPoE

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple users on an Ethernet local area network to a remote site through DSL or cable modems or wireless connection to the Internet. The following fields display when you select PPPoE:

User Name

Enter the ADSL user name give by the ISP.

Example: user1@xyz.com or user 1

Password

Enter the user’s password.

These characters are not allowed: <, >.

Maximum characters allowed are 18.

Retype Password

Retype the password to confirm the one entered above. Passwords must match in order to continue. If you receive an error, enter password in both fields again.

Idle Time

This option is available only when the Connection Type is Trigger on Demand. Specify the inactivity time (in seconds) after which the PPPoE link should be brought down.

Connection Type

Specify the type of connection for the link. Options are:

Always Connect: The link will always be established. It is not dependent on whether or not there is data or a traffic flow through the RouteFinder. Default.

Trigger on Demand: The link will be established only when there is data or a traffic flow through the RouteFinder.

Dynamic IP Address from ISP

Check the box to enable the Dynamic IP address from the ISP. If enabled, the IP address obtained from the ISP is dynamic. If disabled, enter the IP address and subnet mask from the ISP in the following Fixed Address fields:

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Note: If the ISP does not support the Fixed Address option, then the RouteFinder will accept the dynamic IP address provided by the ISP.

Accept DNS Address from Peer

Check this box if you want the DNS server address to be obtained from the peer (the ISP). The DNS address obtained from the ISP will be displayed on the Network Setup > Interface screen. The details of the address/subnet mask obtained from the ISP are displayed as the Present Status on this screen.

MTU

A Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the size (in bytes) of the largest packet that can be passed onwards. To read more about MTU, see the following Web site:

The default for this field is 1412, which should be acceptable for most applications. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit

Also see the hyperlinked references listed on this Web site.

Primary DNS

In this field, enter a primary domain server name (DNS). DNS (Domain Naming System) allows you to enter a name (i.e., mydomain.com) to be used in place of the computer's numeric IP address.

Secondary DNS

In this field, enter a secondary domain server name. The servers are consulted in the order in which they are configured.
