Type

Select the DSL mode supported by your ISP.

 

Use Auto Sync-Upif you are not sure which mode to choose from. The AMG1312-T

 

Series dynamically diagnoses the mode supported by the ISP and selects the best

 

compatible one for your connection.

 

Other options are ADSL2+, ADSL2, G.DMT, T1.413 and G.lite.

 

The AMG1312-T Series device supports Ethernet (ETH1) mode. To select this mode,

 

connect a modem or router to the WAN port and select Ethernet (ETH1).

 

Note: The AMG1312-T Series reboots when transferring to and from Ethernet (ETH1)

 

type.

 

 

General

 

 

 

Mode

Select Router (default) from the drop-down list box if your ISP gives you one IP

 

address only and you want multiple computers to share an Internet account. Select

 

Bridge when your ISP provides you more than one IP address and you want the

 

connected computers to get individual IP address from ISP’s DHCP server directly. If

 

you select Bridge, you cannot use Firewall, DHCP server and NAT on the AMG1312-T

 

Series.

 

 

Encapsulation

Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP from the drop-down list box.

 

Choices vary depending on the mode you select in the Mode field.

 

If you select Router in the Mode field, select PPPoA, RFC 1483, ENET ENCAP or

 

PPPoE.

 

If you select Bridge in the Mode field, method of encapsulation is not available.

 

 

User Name

(PPPoA and PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the user name exactly as your ISP

 

assigned. If assigned a name in the form user@domain where domain identifies a

 

service name, then enter both components exactly as given.

 

 

Password

(PPPoA and PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the password associated with the user

 

name above.

 

 

Service Name

and choose the protocol for applications according to the address type. If you select

 

Disable, the AMG1312-T Series will operate in IPv4 mode.

 

 

PPP Authentication

The AMG1312-T Series supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP

 

(Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP;

 

however, PAP is readily available on more platforms.

 

Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for outgoing calls.

 

Options are:

 

AUTO - Your AMG1312-T Series accepts either CHAP or PAP when requested by this

 

remote node.

 

CHAP - Your AMG1312-T Series accepts CHAP only.

 

PAP - Your AMG1312-T Series accepts PAP only.
