LABEL

DESCRIPTION

 

Mode

Select Routing from the drop-down list box if your ISP allows

 

 

multiple computers to share an Internet account.

 

 

If you select Bridge, the ZyXEL Device will forward any packet

 

 

that it does not route to this remote node; otherwise, the packets

 

 

are discarded.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

By prior agreement, a protocol is assigned a specific virtual

 

 

circuit, for example, VC1 will carry IP. If you select VC, specify

 

 

separate VPI and VCI numbers for each protocol.

 

 

For LLC-based multiplexing or PPP encapsulation, one VC carries

 

 

multiple protocols with protocol identifying information being

 

 

contained in each packet header. In this case, only one set of VPI

 

 

and VCI numbers need be specified for all protocols.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

If you use the encapsulation type except RFC 1483, select

 

 

Obtain an IP Address Automatically when you have a

 

 

dynamic IP address; otherwise select Static IP Address and

 

 

type your ISP assigned IP address in the IP Address field below.

 

 

If you use RFC 1483, enter the IP address given by your ISP in

 

 

the IP Address field.

 

 

 

 

Subnet Mask

This option is available if you select ENET ENCAP in the

 

 

Encapsulation field.

 

 

Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.
