the LAN client and the WAN host will indicate their MSS during the TCP connection handshake. The default value is 1432.

•Authentication: When AUTO option is chosen, the PAP mode will run first then CHAP.
•PPP Configuration Status will be displayed at the bottom of this page to show all the Session Names with its Adapter (PVC number), Mode (PPPoA or PPPoE), Service Name, Account to Use (PPP Account ID), Disconnect Timeout configuration, MRU, MTU, MSS, Authentication Mode (Auto, CHAP or PAP), and Auto Reconnect configuration.
NAT Configuration
The NAT Configuration page allows the user to set the configuration for the Network Address Translation. The default setting is Dynamic NAPT. It provides dynamic Network Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN connections, and the LAN traffic is routed to appropriate WAN connections based on the destination IP addresses and Route Table. This eliminates the need for the static NAT session configuration between multiple LAN clients and multiple WAN connections.
When the Dynamic NAPT is chosen, there is no need to configure the NAT Session and NAT Session Name Configuration.
•NAT (Static): The NAT option only maps single WAN IP address to the local PC IP address. It is
Session Name: This field allows the user to enter his/her own session Name to distinguish different NAT session for different interfaces among different PPP sessions and different PVCs.
