	Appendix I. PPPoA Quick Start Guide
Step	Action
	Create the data VPI/VCI by going to the ROUTER/CONFIGURATION/WAN/
1	ATM menu. Use the right arrow key to enter the menu. This will create
	a data PVC entry for which the appropriate VPI/VCI can be entered.
2	Select PPPOATM from the PROTOCOL field. Then right arrow over to the
	PPPOATM entry point (denoted by a [+]) and press Enter.
	From the ROUTER/CONFIGURATION/WAN/ATM/PPPOATM menu, the
	implementation-specific PPP parameters can be entered.
	A typical application requires authentication, which is done on the
3	AUTHENTICATION menu. The TX METHOD specifies the type of PPP
	authentication used to authenticate the IAD. The TX USERNAME and TX
	PASSWORD are those sent by the IAD to the far-side authenticator. The
	are RX USERNAME and RX PASSWORD are those that the IAD expects to
	receive when the IAD is authenticating the far-side. (The RX METHOD is
	specified in another location, discussed below.)
	Most applications require IP to be negotiated on the link. This is done
	by setting IP MODE to ON on the IP menu. Addresses can be specified
4	by the user or they can be left blank if the far-side assigns the IP
	addressing to the IAD during IPCP negotiation. RIP and NAT can be
	turned on here, if required.
	The PPP menu allows the user to specify the encapsulation mode: VC-
5	Mux or LLC. The remaining default settings should be sufficient for
	typical applications.
	If IP is to be negotiated on the link, IP routing must be globally enabled
6	in the IAD. This is done from the ROUTER/CONFIGURATION/GLOBAL/IP
	menu, where the MODE is set to ON.
	If the application requires the IAD to authenticate its peer, the RX
	METHOD must be specified. This is done from the ROUTER/
7	CONFIGURATION/GLOBAL/SECURITY menu, where AUTHENTICATION
	should be set to PPP and the METHOD is specified under the PPP
	parameter.
