Internet.

9For simple connections to the ISP, where all IP traffic goes to the Internet, leave the IP Mask of the remote hosts network field set to

Internet.

10For simple connections to the Internet, leave the Manufacturer of remote router field set to Default. This field only needs to be changed if the unit has also been configured as an IPX router. See the Software Reference for more details in this case.

11Type the user ID allocated for the authentication protocol used by the ISP in the ID to log into remote site field. Take care to enter the user ID exactly as given because this field is case-sensitive.

The authentication protocol specified by the ISP determines which one of password fields needs to be set. Occasionally, both a PAP and a CHAP password are supplied. In this case, both fields must be completed correctly.

12If the ISP has supplied a PAP password, type the password in the PAP Password to log into remote site field. Note that the password must be entered exactly as given because this field is case-sensitive.

13If the ISP has supplied a CHAP password, type the password in the CHAP Password to log into remote site field. Note that the password must be entered exactly as given because this field is case-sensitive.

Internet Service Providers may use either, or both, forms of user authentication. No successful connection to the ISP will be possible unless these parameters are configured correctly.

If the ISP has already established an account then the PPP connection can be tested by using “Ping” to send test IP packets to an Internet site.
