BPG510 User Interface Guide

Setting up with PPPoE

Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is often used by DSL broadband providers to connect and authenticate users on their networks. The service provider will give you a user name and password, and usually some additional software you need to run in order to go online. The BPG510 can take the place of the additional PPPoE software, allowing you to establish and maintain your broadband connection without running any extra programs on your computer.

Follow the steps below to configure the BPG510 to use a PPPoE-based connection:

1.Open the configuration utility.

2.In the menu bar down the left side of the screen, select WAN.

3.In the menu bar on the top of the screen, select PPPoE. This opens the WAN PPPoE Configuration screen.

4.Under ENABLE PPPOE, click the drop-down arrow and select YES.

5.Under AUTHENTICATION, enter the USERNAME and PASSWORD that were provided by

your ISP. Username and password are often case-sensitive, so be sure enter capital and small letters correctly.

6.Under SETTINGS, enter the SERVICE NAME and AC NAME required by your ISP. If you are not sure, leave this blank.

7.Click SAVE PPPOE SETTINGS.
