Manually Configuring your Router
Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE or PPPoA
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is the standard
method of connecting networked devices. It requires a user name and
password to access the network of your ISP for connecting to the
Internet. PPPoA (PPP over ATM) is similar to PPPoE, but is mostly
implemented in the UK. Select PPPoE or PPPoA and click “Next”.
Then enter the information provided by your ISP, and click “Apply
Changes” to activate your settings.
1. User Name - Enter the user name. (Assigned by your ISP).
2. Password - Enter your password. (Assigned by your ISP).
3. Retype Password - Confirm the password. (Assigned by your ISP).
4. VPI/VCI - Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).
5. Encapsulation - Select your encapsulation type (supplied by your ISP)
to specify how to handle multiple protocols at the ATM transport layer.
VC-MUX: PPPoA Virtual Circuit Multiplexer (null encapsulation) allows
only one protocol running per virtual circuit with fewer overheads.
LLC: PPPoA Logical Link Control allows multiple protocols running over
one virtual circuit (more overhead).
6. Dial on Demand - By selecting “Dial on Demand” your Router will
automatically connect to the Internet when a user opens up a web browser.
7. Idle Time (Minutes) - Enter the maximum idle time for the Internet
connection. After this time has been exceeded, the connection will
be terminated.
