Wizard Setup
This chapter provides information on the Wizard Setup screens in the WebGUI.
3.1 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 Contivity 251
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 Contivity 251 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 appendices.
