PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) provides access control in a manner similar to dial-up
services using PPP.
Description – A user-definable name for this connection.
VPI / VCI – Enter the information provided by your ISP.
NAT – The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access
the Internet through a single ISP account, sharing a single IP address. If users on your
LAN have public IP addresses and can access the Internet directly, the NAT function can
be disabled.
Username – Enter the username provided by your ISP. You can input up to 128
alphanumeric characters (case sensitive). This is in the format of “username@ispname”
instead of simply “username”.
Password – Enter the password provided by your ISP. You can input up to 128
alphanumeric characters (case sensitive).
Service Name – This item is for identification purposes. If it is required, your ISP
provides you the information. Maximum input is 20 alphanumeric characters.
IP Address – Your WAN IP address. Leave this at 0.0.0.0 to automatically obtain an IP
address from your ISP.
Authentication Protocol – Default is Chap. Your ISP advises on using Chap or Pap.
Connection:
• Always on – If you want the router to establish a PPPoE session when starting up
and to automatically re-establish the PPPoE session when disconnected by the ISP.
• Connect on Demand – If you want to establish a PPPoE session only when there is
a packet requesting access to the Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer
attempts to access the Internet).
Idle Timeout – Auto-disconnect the broadband firewall gateway when there is no activity
on the line for a predetermined period of time.
RIP – RIP v1, RIP v2, RIP v1+v2 and RIP v2 Multicast.
MTU – Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-
specific headers) an IP attempts to send through the interface.
