PPPoA Connection Setup

PPPoA is defined in the Internet standard RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over ATM cells which are carried over the DSL line.

PPP(Point-to-Point Protocol) is a method of establishing a network session

between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users. LLC and VC are two different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your ISP to make sure which encapsulation is being supported.

By selecting PPPoA, you are forcing your router to act as the termination point for the PPPoA connection. This frees up your PC resources and allows multiple users to utilize the PPPoA connection.

To configure the router for PPPoA:

Procedure

1.Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed.

2.At the Type field, select PPPoA from the drop-down list. The PPPoA connection setup page is displayed.

3.Give your PPPoA connection a unique name. The name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers.

4.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.)

5.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 3-22.

6.Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode.

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)

Following is a description of the different options:

„Username – The username for the PPPoA access. This is provided by your DSL service provider or your ISP.
