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 force 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:
1. From the Home page, click Setup and then click New Connection.
The default PPPoA connection setup is displayed as the default setup.
2. In the Type dropdown select PPPoA
