Setting up the Internet access with DSLoL

All computers in the LAN can take advantage of the central Internet access of
the LANCOM 54 Wireless. The connection to the Internet provider can be
established via DSL connection. Therefore, the LAN connector of the LANCOM
54 Wireless is connected with a suitable DSL modem.
Does the setup wizard know your Internet provider?
A convenient wizard is available to help you set up Internet access for your
LANCOM 54 Wireless. The wizard knows the access information of major
Internet providers and will offer you a list of providers to choose from. If you
find your Internet service provider on this list, you normally will not have to
enter any further transmission parameters to configure your Internet access.
Only the authentication data (like user name and password) that are supplied
by your provider are required.
Additional information for unknown Internet providers
If the setup wizard does not know your Internet provider, it will prompt you
for all of the required information step by step. Your provider will supply this
information.
Connection to a DSL modem
protocol: PPPoE
Connection to an access router with fixed IP addresses
protocol: Plain Ethernet
Additional connection options
You may also enable or disable further options in the wizard, depending on
whether or not they are supported by your Internet provider:
Time-based billing or flat rate – select the accounting model used by your
Internet provider.
When using time-based billing, you can set the LANCOM 54 Wireless
to automatically close existing connections if no data has been trans-
ferred within a specified time (the so-called idle time).
In addition, you can activate a line monitor that identifies inactive
remote stations faster and therefore can close the connection before
the idle time has elapsed.
