DESCRIPTION
The PPP over Ethernet choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The
Prestige supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an
IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with
a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. Operationally,
PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires
no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By
implementing PPPoE directly on the router rather than individual computers, the
computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the router does
that part of the task. Further, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have access.
Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to
identify and reach the PPPoE server.
Type the User Name given to you by your ISP.
Type the password associated with the User Name above.
Select Nailed-Up Connection if you do not want the connection to time out.
