VPI/VCI
If you are told to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values
given to you by your service provider. Many users will be able to use
the default settings.
Username &
Password
Type the Username and Password used to verify the identity of your
account. Typically, the Username is an account number assigned by
your ISP. See your ISP for further information.
Connection Type
Choose between PPPoE LLC, PPPoA LLC or PPPoE VC-Mux
depending on the instructions of your ISP.
PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a standard
method of establishing a network
connection/session between networked
devices. Different forms of PPP include
PPPoA and PPPoE, and they involve an
authentication process that requires a
username and password to gain access to
the network. PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol
over Ethernet), as described in RFC 2516, is
a method of using PPP through the Ethernet
network. PPPoA (Point to Point Protocol over
ATM) configuration requires the same basic
information as the previously discussed
PPPoE and both configuration menus are
identical. Notice the VPI and VCI values are
included.
To configure the connection for
PPPoE/PPPoA, perform the steps listed
below. Some of the settings do not need to
be changed the first time the device is set up,
but can be changed later if you choose. After
setting the values listed, click the Next button
to go to Step 3 of the Configuration Wizard.
