Pppoe/Pppoa - D-Link DSL-2740R User Manual

Section 3 – Configuration
To configure a PPPoE or PPPoA type WAN connection, follow these
steps:
1. Type the Username 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. The Service
Name field is used for the name of your Internet Service Provider.
This is optional.
2. Choose the Connection Type from the drop-down menu. This
defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method
used for your ADSL service. The available options are PPPoE LLC,
PPPoE VC-Mux, PPPoA LLC and PPPoA VC-Mux. If you have not
been provided specific information for the Connection Type setting,
leave the default setting.
3. Leave the MTU value at the default setting unless you have specific
reasons to change this.
4. Some users will want to set an Idle Time Out. This is an age-out
value, in minutes, before the Router times out.
5. Choose the correct Authentication type from the drop-down list.
Most users will want to leave the setting on Auto. PAP and CHAP
are the other two options. The Auto setting will automatically detect
the correct type of authentication.
6. NAT should remain Enable. If you disable NAT, you will not be able
to use more than one computer for Internet connections. If you are
using multiple virtual connections, NAT functions system-wide,
therefore if it is disabled, NAT will be disabled on all connections.
7. IGMP is set to Disable by default. Select Enable to allow IGMP
packets to go through the WAN interface in both directions.
8. Leave the Default Route enabled if you want to use the Router as
