Mode
Select
Router
(default) from the drop-down list box if your ISP gives you one IP
address only and you want multiple computers to share an Internet account. Select
Bridge

connected computers to get individual IP address from ISP’s DHCP server directly. If
you select
Bridge
, you cannot use Firewall, DHCP server and NAT on the Device.
Encapsulation
Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP from the drop-down list box.
This field is available if you select
Router
in the
Mode
filed.
User Name
(PPPoA and PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the user name exactly as your ISP
assigned. If assigned a name in the form user@domain
where domain identifies a
service name, then enter both components exactly as given.
Password
(PPPoA and PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the password associated with the user
name above.
Service Name
(PPPoE only) Type the name of your PPPoE service here.

your ISP from the drop-down list. Choices are

Select

PPP Authentication
This is available if you select
PPPoE
or
PPPoA
in the
Encapsulation
field.
The Device supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP provides more security than PAP;
however, PAP has higher availability on more platforms.
Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for outgoing calls.
Options are:
Auto
- Your Device accepts either CHAP or PAP when requested by this remote node.
CHAP
- Your Device accepts CHAP only.
PAP
- Your Device accepts PAP only.
