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.
