WAN and System Configuration 8-3
5. Select Data Link Encapsulation and highlight the method of encapsulation that you want to use from the
pop-up menu. The choices offered are PPP, HDLC, and Frame Relay. The default setting is Frame Relay.
Press Return.
Note: If you used Easy Setup to configure your router, you have already created a connection profile called
Easy Setup Profile. If you return to the Easy Setup menus and change the Data Link Encapsulation method
you set up in this step, the Easy Setup Data Link Encapsulation method will override this one and change
the default data link encapsulation method in use.
You are now finished configuring the Line Configuration screen. Press the Escape key to return to the WAN
Setup screen.
Note: If you selected Frame Relay as your data link encapsulation method, see “Configuring Frame Relay” on
page 8-6 for more information.

The DDS Line Configuration screen is where you enter the configuration parameters for your leased line, in order
for the Netopia Router to communicate with the physical connection.
1. Select Data Rate and press Return. From the pop-up menu, highlight the data rate that you want your DDS
line connection to transmit at. The data rate choices are 56 kbps and 64 kbps. The default is Automatic.
Press Return.
Note: DDS Netopia Routers can run 56 kbps or 64 kbps data rates on permanent circuits. You can
alternately select Automatic, in which case the router will hunt between modes until it can determine what
the telephone company has provisioned your DDS line for.
2. The Clock Source default is Network and is not editable.
3. Select Data Link Encapsulation and highlight the method of encapsulation that you want to use from the
pop-up menu. The choices offered are PPP, HDLC, and Frame Relay. The default setting is PPP. Press
Return.
