DESCRIPTION
(PPPoE only) Type the name of your PPPoE service here.
Select the method of multiplexing used by your ISP from the drop-down list. Choices are
VC-Mux or LLC.
By prior agreement, a protocol is assigned a specific virtual circuit, for example, VC1 will
carry IP. If you select VC-mux, specify separate VPI and VCI numbers for each protocol.
For LLC-based multiplexing or PPP encapsulation, one VC carries multiple protocols with
protocol identifying information being contained in each packet header. In this case, only
one set of VPI and VCI numbers need be specified for all protocols.
Select IPv4 to have the Device use only IPv4.
Select IPv4/IPv6 to let the Device connect to IPv4 and IPv6 networks and choose the
protocol for applications according to the address type.
Select IPv6 to have the Device use only IPv6.
The Device supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is more secure than PAP; however, PAP is
readily available on more platforms.
Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for outgoing calls. Options
are:
AUTO - Your Device accepts either CHAP or PAP when requested by this remote node.
CHAP - Your Device accepts CHAP only.
PAP - Your Device accepts PAP only.
VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) define a virtual circuit.
Refer to the appendix for more information.
You can use these options when you set the Mode field to Router and the IPv6/IPv4
Dual Stack field to IPv4 or IPv4/IPv6.
Select Obtain an IP Address Automatically if the ISP assigns you a dynamic IP
address; otherwise select Static IP Address and type your ISP assigned IP address in the
IP Address field below.
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
Enter the static IP address provided by your ISP.
Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.
Specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP).
Set how the Device gets the IP addresses of the DNS servers it uses.
UserDefined - enter a static IP address.
Obtained From ISP - when the Device gets its IP address automatically, you can select
this to have it also get the DNS server address.
None - the Device does not use the DNS server entry.
Select this option if you want to have the Device use the IPv6 prefix from the connected
router's Router Advertisement (RA) to generate an IPv6 address.
Select this option if you have a fixed IPv6 address assigned by your ISP.
