Configure a New WAN Session

LLC Header

Select either true or false for the LLC header. The default is false. False indicates that VCMux encapsulation is used. True indicates that LLC/Snap encapsulation is used.

IP Address

The IP address is dynamically served by the service provider for this session. When the modem has received the IP address for this session, it displays the value in this field. Also, the IP address dynamically received for the first PPP session set up is assigned as the default gateway (see page 44).

If the service provider does not dynamically provide an IP address, they can give you a static IP address that you can enter in this field.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask is dynamically served by the service provider for this session. The default subnet mask for the session is 0.0.0.0.

If the service provider does not dynamically provide a subnet mask, they can give you a subnet mask value that you can enter in this field.

RIP Send

This session forwards RIP version 1 (Ver 1), RIP version 2 multicast (Ver2 (M-cast)), RIP version 2 broadcast (Ver2 (B-cast)), or all versions of RIP packets. Select the RIP version or versions the modem will send on this session. The default is Ver2 (B-cast).

RIP Accept

This session receives RIP version 1 (Ver 1) only, RIP version 2 (Ver 2) only, or both versions of RIP packets. Select the RIP version or versions the modem will receive for this session. The default is RIP Ver 1 and Ver 2.

Authentication

Select the authentication protocol provided by your service provider for PPP sessions. The authentication protocol type must match at the modem and the service provider. The options are:

•PAP—The modem sends authentication requests to the service provider and authentication occurs only once during the life of the DSL link.

•CHAP—The service provider returns an authentication challenge to the modem during the authentication (default setting).

•NONE—No authentication is required for the session.
