4.4.1.2 PPPoA Connection Setup

PPPoA is also known as RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over ATM cells which are carried over the DSL line. PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a method of establishing a network connection / session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users. LLC and VC are two different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your ISP to make sure which encapsulation is being supported.

By selecting PPPoA, you are forcing your ADSL Router to terminate the PPPoA connection. The advantage is that the PPPoA termination is done within the ADSL Router and not on your PC; this frees up your PC resources and allows multiple users to utilize the PPPoA connection.

To configure the gateway for PPPoA, click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select PPPoA and the PPPoA connection setup page is displayed; figure 5 illustrates a typical PPPoA configuration. Give your PPPoA connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case the unique name is called PPPoA1. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode. Select the VPI and VCI settings; your DSL service provider or your ISP will supply these; in this case the DSL service provider is using 0,100. Also select the quality of service (QOS); leave the default value if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.
