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 | ||
| ||
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).
