The following table lists the PPPoA Connection Setup screen fields and describes each
of the options:
Field Description
NAT
Network Address Translation is a feature that enables you to use private IP
addresses on your computer or LAN. This is set to Enabled by default for
standard operation.
Firewall
Select to enable firewalling on this connection. This is set to Enabled by
default for standard operation.
LLC and VC are two different methods of encapsulating multiple sessions.
This is set to LLC by default.
LLC
With LLC encapsulation, a link control header is added to the
Ethernet packet that identifies the protocol type (Ethernet). This
allows multiple protocols to be transmitted over the ATM Virtual
Circuit.
Encapsulation
VC
With VC Multiplexing, no link control header is needed as the ATM
Virtual Circuit is assumed to be carrying a single protocol.
Username
The username for your ISP account.
Password
The password for your ISP account.
Idle Timeout
This specifies that the PPPoE connection should disconnect if the link detects
no activity for x seconds. If you wish to ensure the link remains always
connected, enter

Keep Alive
When the On-Demand option is disabled, this value specifies the time to wait
