DSL-500G ADSL Router User’s Guide

The PPP Configuration table displays the following fields:

PPP Interface	The PPP interface you are configuring.
ATM VC	The Virtual Circuit over which this PPP data is sent. The VC identifies the
	physical path the data takes to reach your ISP.
	The type of Firewall protections that are in effect on the interface.
	A public interface connects to the Internet (PPP interfaces are typically
	public). Packets received on a public interface are subject to the most
	restrictive set of firewall protections defined in the software.
Interface Sec Type	A private interface connects to your LAN, such as the Ethernet interface.
	Packets received on a private interface are subject to a less restrictive set
	of protections, because they originate within the network.
	The term DMZ (de-militarized zone), in Internet networking terms, refers to
	computers that are available for both public and in-network accesses (such
	as a company's public Web server).
Protocol	The type of PPP protocol used. Your ISP may use PPP-over-Ethernet
	(PPoE) or PPP-over-ATM (PPoA).
	This feature is available with PPoE interfaces but not with PPoA
Service Name	interfaces. The name of the ISP service you are using with this PPP
	connection. ISPs may offer different types of services (for example, for
	online gaming or business communications), each requiring a different
	login and other connection properties.
	When set to Enable, the device will acquire additional IP information from
Use DHCP	the ISP's DHCP server. The PPP connection itself acquires the device's IP
	address, mask, DNS address, and default gateway address.
	When set to Enable, the DNS address learned through the PPP
Use DNS	connection will be distributed to clients of the device's DHCP server. This
	option is useful only when the Router is configured to act as a DHCP
	Server for your LAN. When set to Disable, LAN hosts will use the DNS
	address(es) pre-configured in the DHCP pool.
	This indicates whether the Router should use the IP address assigned to
Default Route	this connection as its default route. It is Enabled by default and can be
	Disabled by selecting the appropriate option.
Security Protocol	Protocol used to confirm the identity of the subscriber.
Login Name	The name you use to log in to your ISP each time this PPP connection is
	established.
Login Password	The password you use to log in to your ISP each time this PPP connection
	is established.
