Link: Connection
When you click Connection , the Connection Configuration page appears.
Here you can set up or change the way you connect to your ISP. You should only change
these settings at your ISP's direction, or by agreement with your ISP.
• VPI/VCI: These values depend on the way your ISP's equipment is configured. The
default setting is 0/0, auto-detection. With this setting, the router will attempt to detect
what settings your ISP is using, with no input on your part. You probably would not need
to change this. 8/35 and 0/35 are also common virtual circuit pairs, but others are
sometimes used. Check with your ISP before making any changes here.
• Protocol: The authentication and encapsulation protocol is determined by your ISP,
often by the type of account that you have signed up for. Options here are PPPOE LLC,
PPPOE VCMUX, ETHER LLC, IP LLC, PPPOA LLC, and PPPOA VCMUX.
• Bridging: Your Router can be turned into a simple bridge, if desired. However, it will no
longer provide routing or security features in this mode.
