	LABEL	DESCRIPTION
	ISP Parameters for Internet Access
	Encapsulation	The PPP over Ethernet choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The
		HomeSafe supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an
		IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts
		with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. Operationally,
		PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no
		specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By implementing
		PPPoE directly on the router rather than individual computers, the computers on the
		LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the router does that part of the
		task. Further, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have access.
	Service Name	Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to
		identify and reach the PPPoE server.
	User Name	Type the User Name given to you by your ISP.
	Password	Type the password associated with the User Name above.
	Retype to	Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is correctly.
	Confirm
	Nailed-Up	Select Nailed-Up Connection if you do not want the connection to time out.
	Connection
	Idle Timeout	This value specifies the time in seconds that elapses before the router automatically
		disconnects from the PPPoE server.
	Apply	Click Apply to save your changes back to the HomeSafe.
	Reset	Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.

8.4.3 PPTP Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks.
