Wizard Setup Introduction

Use the Wizard Setup screens to configure your system for Internet access settings and fill in the fields with
the information in the Internet Account Information table of the Quick Start Guide. Your ISP may have
already configured some of the fields in the wizard screens for you.
3.2

Encapsulation

Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Prestige supports the following methods.

3.2.1 ENET ENCAP

The MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only implemented with the IP network
protocol. IP packets are routed between the Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted so
that they can be understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it encapsulates routed Ethernet frames
into bridged ATM cells. ENET ENCAP requires that you specify a gateway IP address in the Ethernet
Encapsulation Gateway field in the second wizard screen. You can get this information from your ISP.

3.2.2 PPP over Ethernet

PPPoE provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP.
The Prestige bridges a PPP session over Ethernet (PPP over Ethernet, RFC 2516) from your computer to an
ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) which connects to ADSL Access Concentrator where the PPP session
terminates. One PVC can support any number of PPP sessions from your LAN. For more information on
PPPoE, see the appendix.

3.2.3 PPPoA

PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). It provides access control
and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP. The Prestige encapsulates the PPP
session based on RFC1483 and sends it through an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) to the Internet
Service Provider's (ISP) DSLAM (digital access multiplexer). Please refer to RFC 2364 for more information
on PPPoA. Refer to RFC 1661 for more information on PPP.
