DSL-320T ADSL Modem User Guide

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
