LABEL
DESCRIPTION
General
Active
Select the check box to activate or clear the check box to deactivate this connection.
Node Name
Enter a unique, descriptive name of up to 13 ASCII characters for this connection.
Mode
Select
Router
from the drop-down list box if your ISP allows multiple computers to share
an Internet account.
If you select
Bridge
, the Device will forward any packet that it does not route to this
remote node; otherwise, the packets are discarded.
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
field.
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.
Multiplex
Select the method of multiplexing used by your ISP from the drop-down list. Choices are
VC-Mux
or
LLC
.
By prior agreement, a protocol is assigned a specific virtual circuit, for example, VC1 will
carry IP. If you select VC-mux, specify separate VPI and VCI numbers for each protocol.
For LLC-based multiplexing or PPP encapsulation, one VC carries multiple protocols with
protocol identifying information being contained in each packet header. In this case, only
one set of VPI and VCI numbers need be specified for all protocols.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual
Stack
Select
IPv4
to have the Device use only IPv4.
Select
IPv4/IPv6
to let the Device connect to IPv4 and IPv6 networks and choose the
protocol for applications according to the address type.
Select
IPv6
to have the Device use only IPv6.
PPP
Authentication
The Device supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP is
readily available 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.
VPI, VCI
VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) define a virtual circuit.
Refer to the appendix for more information.
