Follow the instructions below to configure the Router to use a PPPoE or PPPoA for the Internet
connection. Make sure you have all the necessary information before you configure the WAN connection.
Figure 4-7 WAN Settings Menu – PPPoE/PPPoA
1. Under the
ATM Interface
settings at the top of the menu (including
VPI
,
VCI
, and
Virtual Circuit
) should
not be changed unless you have been instructed to change them. However, if you are instructed to change
the
VPI
or
VCI
values, type in the values assigned for your account. Leave the
ATM Interface
and
Virtual
Circuit
setting at the default (
Pcv0
and
Enabled
) values for now. This can be used later if you are
configuring multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service.
2. Under the
PPPoE/PPPoA
heading, type the
User Name
and
Password
used for your ADSL account. A
typical User Name will be in the form [email protected], the Password may be assigned to you by your
ISP or you may have selected it when you set up the account with your ISP.
3. Choose the
Connection Type
from the pull-down menu located under the User Name and Password entry
fields. This defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service.
The available options are
PPPoA VC-MUX, PPPoA LLC

If have not been provided
specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.
4. Leave the
MTU
value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have specific reasons to change
this (see table below).
5. Leave the
MRU
value at the default setting (default = 1492) unless you have specific reasons to change
this (see table below).
6. Leave the
Default Route
enabled if you want to use the Router as the default route to the Internet for your
LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to access the Internet, the Router becomes the Internet
gateway to the computer. If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable this without
effecting the Router’s connection.
