DESCRIPTION
General
Active
Select Enable or Disable to activate or deactivate the interface.
Name
Specify a descriptive name for this connection.
Type
This shows it is a GPON connection.
Mode
Select Routing if your ISP give you one IP address only and you want multiple computers to share
an Internet account.
Encapsulation
Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP from the drop-down list box. This option is
available only when you select Routing in the Mode field.
IPv4/IPv6 Mode
Select IPv4 Only if you want the PMG2006-T20A to run IPv4 only.
Select IPv4 IPv6 DualStack to allow the PMG2006-T20A to run IPv4 and IPv6 at the same time.
Select IPv6 Only if you want the PMG2006-T20A to run IPv6 only.
PPP Information (This is available only when you select PPPoE in the Mode field.)
PPP User Name
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.
PPP Password
Enter the password associated with the user name above. Select password unmask to show your
entered password in plain text.
PPP Connection
Select when to have the PMG2006-T20A establish the PPP connection.
Trigger
Auto Connect - select this to not let the connection time out.
On Demand - select this to automatically bring up the connection when the PMG2006-T20A
receives packets destined for the Internet.
Idle Timeout
This value specifies the time in minutes that elapses before the router automatically disconnects
from the PPPoE server.
This field is not available if you select Auto Connect in the PPP Connection Trigger field.
PPPoE
This field is available when you select PPPoE encapsulation.
Passthrough
In addition to the PMG2006-T20A's built-in PPPoE client, you can enable PPPoE pass through to
allow up to ten hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE client software on their computers to connect to
the ISP via the PMG2006-T20A. Each host can have a separate account and a public WAN IP
address.
PPPoE pass through is an alternative to NAT for application where NAT is not appropriate.
Disable PPPoE pass through if you do not need to allow hosts on the LAN to use PPPoE client
software on their computers to connect to the ISP.
IP Address (This is available only when you select IPv4 Only or IPv4 IPv6 DualStack in the IPv4/IPv6 Mode field.)
Obtain an IP
A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is not fixed; the ISP
Address
assigns you a different one each time you connect to the Internet. Select this if you have a
Automatically
dynamic IP address.
Static IP Address
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
IP Address
Enter the static IP address provided by your ISP.
VLAN
Active
Select this to enable VLAN on this WAN interface.
802.1p
IEEE 802.1p defines up to 8 separate traffic types by inserting a tag into a MAC-layer frame that
contains bits to define class of service.
Select the IEEE 802.1p priority level (from 0 to 7) to add to traffic through this connection. The
greater the number, the higher the priority level.
