Chapter 3
Wizard Setup
This chapter provides information on the Wizard Setup screens in the web configurator.
3.1 Wizard Setup Introduction
Use the Wizard Setup screens to configure your system for Internet access settings and fill in the fields
with the information in the
Internet Account Information
table in the
Compact Guide
. Your ISP may
have already configured some of the fields in the wizard screens for you.
3.2 Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Prestige supports the following
methods.
3.2.1 ENET ENCAP
The MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only implemented with the IP
network protocol. IP packets are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and
then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it encapsulates
routed Ethernet frames into bridged ATM cells. ENET ENCAP requires that you specify a gateway IP
address in the
Ethernet Encapsulation Gateway
field in the second wizard screen. You can get this
information from your ISP.
3.2.2 PPP over Ethernet
PPPoE provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using
PPP. The Prestige bridges a PPP session over Ethernet (PPP over Ethernet, RFC 2516) from your
computer to an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) which connects to ADSL Access Concentrator
where the PPP session terminates. One PVC can support any number of PPP sessions from your LAN.
For more information on PPPoE, see the appendices.
3.2.3 PPPoA
PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). A PPPoA
connection functions like a dial-up Internet connection. The Prestige encapsulates the PPP session
based on RFC1483 and sends it through an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) to the Internet
Service Provider’s (ISP) DSLAM (digital access multiplexer). Please refer to RFC 2364 for more
information on PPPoA. Refer to RFC 1661 for more information on PPP.
3.2.4 RFC 1483
RFC 1483 describes two methods for Multiprotocol Encapsulation over ATM Adaptation Layer 5
(AAL5). The first method allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a single ATM virtual circuit
(LLC-based multiplexing) and the second method assumes that each protocol is carried over a separate
ATM virtual circuit (VC-based multiplexing). Please refer to the RFC for more detailed information.
