14.The Modem will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Modem will automatically establish the WAN connection.

The following provides additional description of the settings for PPPoA and PPPoE connections:

PPPoA/PPPoE Parameters	Description
User Name	For PPP connections, a User Name and Password are used to identify
	and verify your account to the ISP. Enter the User Name for your ADSL
	service account. User names and passwords are case-sensitive, so enter
	this information exactly as given to you by your ISP.
Password	Together with the User Name, this is used to verify your account to the
	ISP. Enter the Password exactly as given to you by your ISP.
AC Name	AC Name is optional for most users. Please contact your ISP if you are
	uncertain whether an AC Name is required.
Service Name	Service Name is optional for most users. Please contact your ISP if you
	are uncertain whether a Service Name is required.
Connection Type	This specifies the protocol (PPPoE or PPPoA) and the encapsulation
	method (LLC or VC-Mux) used for your connection. The options available
	are PPPoE LLC, PPPoA LLC, or PPPoA VC-Mux.
MTU	The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to
	optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The
	default setting (1400 bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some
	user may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless
	traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It
	is highly recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU
	may affect network traffic for better or worse.
MRU	Similar to the MTU, except this applies to Maximum Received Unit size
	for downloading data. Most users will be happy with the default setting
	(1492 bytes). However this may also be optimized for fast downloads of
	general bulk Internet traffic, for low latency or for downloading to
	computers on the Wireless LAN. As with the MTU setting, the user
	should carefully consider how changing the MRU may affect Internet
	downloads for all systems on your LAN.
Default Route	When this is Enabled, the Modem will be considered to be the primary
	gateway to the Internet and WAN for systems on your network. If you
	are using the Modem on a network with one or more alternative
	gateway routers, you may prefer to disable this if you will use another
	router as the primary gateway.
IP Control	This is used to determine how global IP settings are handled for the
	WAN interface. Typically PPPoE or PPPoA connections will use the
	default setting for Dynamic IP. Some users will be given a specific IP
	address for the WAN interface. In this case you need to change this
	setting to Static IP. When Static IP is selected in the IP Control drop-
	down menu, you need to type in the global IP address provided to you
