Wizard Setup
802.11b is only supported for the BIPAC-5100W
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-5100/5100W
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-5100/5100W 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
