Mode

Select Routing (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 ZyXEL Device.

 

 

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 Bridge in the Mode field, select either PPPoA or RFC 1483.

 

If you select Routing in the Mode field, select PPPoA, RFC 1483, ENET

 

ENCAP or PPPoE.

 

 

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

(PPPoE only) Type the name of your PPPoE service here.

 

 

Multiplexing

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

 

Choices are VC or LLC.

 

This field is not available if you set the WAN type to Ethernet.

 

 

Virtual Circuit ID

VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) define a virtual

 

circuit. Refer to the appendix for more information.

 

These fields are not available if you set the WAN type to Ethernet.

 

 

VPI

The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to you.

 

 

VCI

The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved for local

 

management of ATM traffic). Enter the VCI assigned to you.

 

 

IP Address

This option is available if you select Routing in the Mode field.

 

A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is

 

not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time you connect to the

 

Internet.

 

Select Obtain an IP Address Automatically if you have a dynamic IP address;

 

otherwise select Static IP Address and type your ISP assigned IP address in

 

the IP Address field below.

 

 

Subnet Mask

Apply. If you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP

 

address, the second User-Definedchanges to None after you click Apply.

 

Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must have

 

another DNS server on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS

 

server addresses manually configured. If you do not configure a DNS server,

 

you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
