PPPoE and PPPoA Connection for WAN

Follow the instructions below to configure the Router to use a PPPoE or PPPoA for the Internet connection. Make sure you have all the necessary information before you configure the WAN connection.

1.If not already selected, choose the PPPoE/PPPoA option from the WAN Settings pull-down menu. PPPoE/PPPoA is selected by default if you are configuring the Router for the first time.

2.Under the ATM VC Settings at the top of the menu should not be changed unless you have been instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values assigned for your account. Leave the PVC and Virtual Circuit setting at the default (Pcv0 and Enabled) values for now. This can be used later if you are configuring multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service. For more information on ATM VC Settings, see the table on page 31 below.

3.Under the PPPoE/PPPoA heading, type the User Name and Password used for your ADSL account. A typical User Name will be in the form user1234@isp.com.au, the Password may be assigned to you by your ISP or you may have selected it when you set up the account with your ISP.

4.Choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu located under the User Name and Password entry fields. This defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available options are PPPoA VC-MUX, PPPoA LLC and PPPoE LLC. If have not been provided specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.

5.Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have specific reasons to change this (see table below).

6.Leave the MRU value at the default setting (default = 1492) unless you have specific reasons to change this (see table below).

7.Leave the Default Route enabled if you want to use the Router as the default route to the Internet for your LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to access the Internet, the Router becomes the Internet gateway to the computer. If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable this without effecting the Router’s connection.

8.NAT should remain enabled. If you disable NAT, you not be able to use more than one computer for Internet connections. NAT is enabled and disabled system-wide, therefore if you are using multiple virtual connections, NAT will disabled on all connections.

9.The Firewall should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this
