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 A
™
) 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.
6. Encapsulation – Select your encapsulation type (supplied by
your ISP) to specify how to handle multiple protocols at the A
™
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).
7. Dial on Demand – By selecting “Dial on Demand”, your Router
will automatically connect to the Internet when a user opens up a
web browser.
8. Idle Time (Minutes) – Enter the maximum idle time for the Internet
connection. After this time has been exceeded, the connection will
be terminated.
9. MTU – The MTU setting should never be changed unless your
ISP requires a specific MTU setting. Making changes to the MTU
can cause problems with your Internet connection, including
disconnection from the Internet, slow Internet access, and
problems with Internet applications working properly.
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. IP Assigned by ISP – Leave “Yes” if your ISP automatically assigns
an IP address. If your ISP assigned a fixed IP address, select “No”
and enter assigned values.
5. VPI/VCI – Enter your Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Circuit
Identifier (VCI) parameter here. (Assigned by your ISP).
