Field Description
Field
Definition/Description
Encapsulation
The technique used by layered protocols in which a layer adds header
information to the protocol data unit (PDU) from the layer above. As an
example, in Internet terminology, a packet would contain a header from the
data link layer, followed by a header from the network layer (IP), followed
by a header from the transport layer (TCP), followed by the application
protocol data. Two options are provided: Logical Link Control (LLC) and
Virtual Channel (VC).
Username
Your user name for the PPPoA access provided by your DSL service
provider or your ISP. This field is alpha-numeric and the maximum length is
64 characters. It cannot start with a number. The character type restrictions
do not apply for CLI-based configuration.
Password
Your password for the PPPoA access provided by your DSL service
provider or your ISP. This field is alpha-numeric and the maximum length is
128 characters. The character type restrictions do not apply for CLI-based
configuration.
Idle Timeout
Specifies that the PPPoA connection should disconnect if the link has no
activity detected for n seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On
Demand feature. To ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this
field. You can also enter a value larger than 10 (secs).
Keep Alive
When the On Demand option is not enabled, this value specifies the time
to wait without being connected to your provider before terminating the
connection. To ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field.
You can also enter any positive integer value in this field.

MTU
Maximum transmit unit the DSL connection can transmit. It is a negotiated
value that packets of no more than n bytes can be sent to the service
provider. The PPPoE interface default MTU is 1492 (max) and PPPoA
default MTU is 1500 (max). The minimum MTU value is 64.
On Demand
Enables On Demand mode. The connection disconnects if no activity is
detected after the specified Idle Timeout value.
Default Gateway
If checked, this WAN connection acts as the default gateway to the
Internet.
