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 modem 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 modem for PPPoA:
1. Click on Setup and then click on New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed.
2. At the Type field select PPPoA and the PPPoA connection setup page is displayed. Figure 4-5 illustrates a typical
PPPoA configuration.
3. Give your PPPoA connection a unique name. The name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In
this case the unique name is PPPOA1.
4. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode.
5. Select the VPI and VCI settings; your DSL service provider or your ISP will supply these; in this case the DSL
service provider is using 0,40.
6. Select the quality of service (QOS). Leave the default value if your ISP did not provide this information.
Following is a description of the different options:
•
Username – The username for the PPPoA access. This is provided by your DSL service provider or your ISP.
•
Password – The password for the PPPoA access. This is provided by your DSL service provider or your ISP.
