P314 Broadband Sharing Gateway with 4-Port Switch

4.1.2 PPPoE Encapsulation

The Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). You can only use PPPoE encapsulation when you’re using the Prestige with an xDSL modem as the WAN device. If you change the Encapsulation to PPPoE, then you will see the next screen. Please see the Appendices for more information on PPPoE.
