Actiontec USB/Ethernet DSL Modem User Manual

“Broadband Connection via PPPoA” screen:

If a User Name and Password was entered in the Installation Buddy or during Basic Setup, it should be displayed in the “Broadband Connection via PPPoE/ PPPoA” screen. If not, enter the information now. If the information is unavailable, contact the ISP.

PPP Auto Connect

If PPP auto connect is activated (by clicking in the appropriate check box), the Modem will attempt to automatically redial the PPP connection if it is dropped or disconnected during an online session. Actiontec recommends that you turn

PPPAuto Connect ON.

Encapsulation (PPPoA only)

Select one of the encapsulation options, based on information received from the ISP.

Obtain an IP Through DHCP

Select this option if the IP service is configured to use RFC 1483 Bridged or Routed (used for configurations without a Static IP assigned by an ISP). In this mode, the Modem will query the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to receive the IP address and routing information, which will terminate at the Modem, as opposed to the IP address and routing information being bridged to terminate at the computer. This allows the use of the router capabilities for the Local Area Network (LAN).

Some ISPs need to authenticate their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain Name. If this is the case, check with the ISP for a host name and domain name and enter them in the appropriate text boxes in the “Broadband Connection via DHCP” screen. If the ISP does not require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.
