DESCRIPTION
Select Routing (default) from the drop-down list box if your ISP gives you one IP
address only and you want multiple computers to share an Internet account.
Select Bridge when your ISP provides you more than one IP address and you
want the connected computers to get individual IP address from ISP's DHCP
server directly. If you select Bridge, you cannot use Firewall, DHCP server and
NAT on the ZyXEL Device.
Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP from the drop-down list
box. Choices vary depending on the mode you select in the Mode field.
If you select Bridge in the Mode field, select either PPPoA or RFC 1483.
If you select Routing in the Mode field, select PPPoA, RFC 1483, ENET
ENCAP or PPPoE.
(PPPoA and PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the user name exactly as your
ISP assigned. If assigned a name in the form user@domain where domain
identifies a service name, then enter both components exactly as given.
(PPPoA and PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the password associated with the
user name above.
(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 or LLC.
This field is not available if you set the WAN type to Ethernet.
VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) define a virtual
circuit. Refer to the appendix for more information.
These fields are not available if you set the WAN type to Ethernet.
The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to you.
The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved for local
management of ATM traffic). Enter the VCI assigned to you.
This option is available if you select Routing in the Mode field.
A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is
not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time you connect to the
Internet.
Select Obtain an IP Address Automatically if you have a dynamic IP address;
otherwise select Static IP Address and type your ISP assigned IP address in
the IP Address field below.
This option is available if you select ENET ENCAP in the Encapsulation field.
Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.
This option is available if you select ENET ENCAP in the Encapsulation field.
Specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP).
Select Obtained From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server
information (and the ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address) and you select Obtain
an IP Address Automatically.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but leave
the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you click
Apply. If you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP
address, the second User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must have
another DNS server on your LAN, or else the computers must have their DNS
server addresses manually configured. If you do not configure a DNS server,
you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
