DESCRIPTION

General

 

 

 

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

This option is available if you select ENET ENCAP in the

 

Encapsulation field.

 

Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.

 

 

ENET ENCAP

This option is available if you select ENET ENCAP in the

Gateway

Encapsulation field.

 

Specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP).
