Mode Select Routing from the drop-down list box if your ISP allows
multiple computers to share an Internet account.
If you select Bridge, the P-660HN-F1A 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. Choices vary depending on the mode you
select in the Mode field.
If you select Bridge in the Mode field, select either PPPoA or
RFC 1483.
If you select Routing in the Mode field, select PPPoA, RFC
1483, ENET ENCAP or PPPoE.
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.
Multiplexing Select the method of multiplexing used by your ISP from the
drop-down list. Choices are VC or LLC.
By prior agreement, a protocol is assigned a specific virtual
circuit, for example, VC1 will carry IP. If you select VC, 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.
VPI The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to
you.
VCI The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved for
local management of ATM traffic). Enter the VCI assigned to you.
IP Address This option is available if you select Routing in the Mode field.
A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A
dynamic IP address is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different
one each time you connect to the Internet.
If you use the encapsulation type except RFC 1483, select
Obtain an IP Address Automatically when you have a
dynamic IP address; otherwise select Static IP Address and
type your ISP assigned IP address in the IP Address field below.
If you use RFC 1483, enter the IP address given by your ISP in
the IP Address field.
Subnet Mask This option is available if you select ENET ENCAP in the
Encapsulation field.
Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.
