New Connection
A new connection is basically a virtual connection. Your router can support up to 8
different virtual connections. If you have multiple different virtual connections, you
may need to utilize the static and dynamic routing capabilities of the router to pass
data correctly.

PPPoE Connection Setup

PPPoE is defined in the Internet standard RFC2516. It is a method of
encapsulating PPP packets over Ethernet. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a
method of establishing a network session between network hosts. It usually
provides a mechanism of authenticating users.
To configure the CPE for PPPoE:
Procedure
1. Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE
connection setup is displayed.
2. At the Type field, select PPPoE from the drop-down list. The PPPoE
Connection Setup page is displayed.
3. Give your PPPoE connection a unique name. The name must not have spaces
and cannot begin with numbers.
4. Select a PVC Shar ing type of Disable, Enable, or VLAN.
5. Select or enter a VPI and VCI (as supplied by your DSL service provider or
your ISP), or click in Auto PVC. (Auto PVC causes the router to perform
automatic VPI/VCI detection as defined in DSL forum TR-068.) For VLAN,
specify a VLAN ID and priority.
6. Select NAT and Firewall if you want them active for this connection. Firewall
and NAT services must be enabled. See Firewall/NAT Services on page 3-17.
7. Select the quality of service (QOS). Leave the default value if your ISP did not
provide this information. Depending on the QoS you select, you may also
enter:
— PCR (Peak Cell Rate)
— SCR (Sustainable Cell Rate)
— MBS (Maximum Burst Size)
— CDVT (Cell Delay Variation Tolerance)
