PPPoA Connection Setup
PPPoA is defined in the Internet standard RFC 2364. It is a method of
encapsulating PPP packets over ATM cells which are carried over the DSL line.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a method of establishing a network session
between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users.
LLC and VC are two different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact
your ISP to make sure which encapsulation is being supported.
By selecting PPPoA, you are forcing your router to act as the termination point for
the PPPoA connection. This frees up your PC resources and allows multiple users
to utilize the PPPoA connection.
To configure the router for PPPoA:
Procedure
1. Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE
connection setup is displayed.
2. At the Type field, select PPPoA from the drop-down list. The PPPoA
connection setup page is displayed.
3. Give your PPPoA connection a unique name. The name must not have spaces
and cannot begin with numbers.
