DSL-G624T Wireless A DSL Router User’s Guide

Additional settings for PPPoE/PPPoA connections:

 

PPPoE/PPPoA Parameters

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For PPP connections, a User Name and Password are used to identify and

 

 

User Name

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This specifies the protocol (PPPoE or PPPoA) and the encapsulation method

 

 

Connection Type

(LLC or VC-MUX) used for your connection. The options available are PPPoE

 

 

 

LLC, PPPoA LLC or PPPoA VC-MUX.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to optimize

 

 

 

efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The default setting

 

 

MTU

(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 effect network traffic for better or worse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

MRU

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 effect Internet downloads for all systems on your LAN.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When this is enabled, the Router will be considered to be the primary gateway

 

 

Default Route

to the Internet and WAN for systems on your network. If you are using the

 

 

Router 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-down

 

 

 

menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows on a single computer to be used

 

 

NAT

for Internet access through the Router. NAT is enabled and disable for the

 

 

 

Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router is set up for multiple

 

 

 

virtual connections.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features

 

 

Firewall

available in the Router. If you disable this you will not be able to configure

 

 

 

settings in the Firewall or Filters menus in the Advanced directory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 Control

IP is selected in the IP Control menu, you need to type in the global IP address

 

 

 

provided to you by your ISP. The IP Unnumbered option is used if you want to

 

 

 

set up a non-TCP/IP port protocol link through the WAN interface. An IP

 

 

 

Unnumbered interface does not have an IP address and therefore cannot be

 

 

 

managed via Telnet or any other TCP/IP application.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you have selected the Static IP option in the IP Control menu, type in the

 

 

Static IP

global IP address used for your WAN interface. This should be given to you by

 

 

 

your ISP.
