2.3 Using a DSL Modem with PPPoE

From the Gateway’s Basic Setup screen, select DSL Modem with PPPoE and click View/Configure WAN Settings. A screen displays with several fields to fill in. These fields control your shared PPPoE session, which is active whenever any computer on your LAN accesses the Internet.

PPPoE Account Name

Type the name your service provider

 

has given you.

 

 

PPPoE Password

The Password is also given by your

 

service provider. After the Password is

 

set, this field will appear empty.

 

 

Maximum Idle Time

The length of time you can be idle

(seconds)

before your service provider will

0=never disconnect

disconnect your session. If Auto-

reconnect is enabled, the Gateway

 

1-999=allowed

will automatically connect to your

default=300

service provider after the Gateway is

restarted or the connection is

 

interrupted.

 

 

PPPoE Service Name

Only type a Service Name if your

(Optional)

service provider requires it.

 

 

Assigned IP Address

Required by those service providers

(Optional)

that provide PPPoE session control

with a Static IP address.

 

 

 

Once you have filled in all the information, click Save (and Restart if you are prompted to do so).
