3. Under the PPPoE/PPPoA heading, type the User Name and Password used for your ADSL account. A
typical User Name will be in the form user1234@isp.co.uk. The Password may be assigned to you by
your ISP or you may have selected it when you set up the account with your ISP.
4. Choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu located under the User Name and Password
entry fields. This defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method used for your ADSL
service. The available options are PPPoA VC-Mux, PPPoA LLC and PPPoE LLC. If have not been
provided specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.

this (see table below).
6. Leave the MRU value at the default setting (default = 1492) unless you have specific reasons to change
this (see table below).
7. Leave the Default Route enabled if you want to use the Router as the default route to the Internet for
your LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to access the Internet, the Router becomes the
Internet gateway to the computer. If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable
this without effecting the Router's connection.
8. NAT should remain Enabled. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use more than one computer for
Internet connections. NAT is enabled and disabled system-wide, therefore if you are using multiple
virtual connections, NAT will disabled on all connections.
9. The Firewall should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this you will not be able to
use the features configured in the Firewall Configuration and Filters windows located in the
Advanced directory. See the next chapter for more details on these windows.

connection will use Dynamic IP assignment from the ISP. Some accounts may be assigned a specific
global IP address. If you have been give an IP address for you PPPoE/PPPoA connection, select the
Static IP option from the IP Control pull-down menu. This menu can be used to configure the WAN port
as an Unnumbered IP interface. (See table below for Unnumbered IP)
11. Most users will not need to change ATM settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the ADSL
connection it is recommended that you leave the Service Category settings at the default values until
you have established the connection. See the section on ATM Traffic Shaping later in this manual for a
further description of the parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.
12. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.
13. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To
save and reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the System button. In the
System Settings window, click the Save and Reboot button under Save Settings and Reboot the
System.
14. Click OK when the following "Save and restart?" dialog box opens.
15. The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically establish
