Chapter 3
Wizard Setup
This chapter provides information on the Wizard Setup screens in the web configurator.
3.1 Wizard Setup Introduction
Use the Wizard Setup screens to configure your system for Internet access settings and fill in
the fields with the information in the Internet Account Information table of the Compact Guide
or Read Me First. Your ISP may have already configured some of the fields in the wizard
screens for you.
3.2 Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The BIPAC-5100S supports the
following methods.
3.2.1 ENET ENCAP
The MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only implemented with the IP
network protocol. IP packets are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface
and then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it
encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged ATM cells. ENET ENCAP requires that you
specify a gateway IP address in the Ethernet Encapsulation Gateway field in the second
wizard screen. You can get this information from your ISP.
3.2.2 PPP over Ethernet
PPPoE provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services
using PPP. The BIPAC-5100S bridges a PPP session over Ethernet (PPP over Ethernet, RFC
2516) from your computer to an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) which connects to ADSL
Access Concentrator where the PPP session terminates. One PVC can support any number of
PPP sessions from your LAN. For more information on PPPoE, see the appendix.
3.2.3 PPPoA
PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). It provides
access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP. The
BIPAC-5100S encapsulates the PPP session based on RFC1483 and sends it through an ATM
