and Login Password. Server Name and Default Gateway are optional settings. PPP is
a data-link protocol for dialup connections allowing an Access Point to use a
broadband modem (DSL, cable modem, etc.) for access to high-speed data and
broadband networks. Most DSL providers support (or deploy) the PPPoE protocol.
PPPoE uses standard encryption, authentication, and compression as specified by the
PPPoE protocol. PPPoE enables the Access Point to establish a point-to-point
connection to an ISP over an existing Ethernet interface.
• Static IP / Mask - Specify an IP address for the WAN connection if using static
address assignment for the WAN port. An IP address uses a series of four numbers
defined in dot notation, for example, 190.188.12.1. Additionally, specify a Mask for the
access point's WAN connection. This number is available from the ISP for a DSL or
cable-modem connection, or from an administrator if the Access Point connects to a
larger network.
• Primary/Secondary DNS/Default Gateway - If using a static IP or DHCP, enter the
Primary and Secondary DNS server resource's numerical IP address and Default
Gateway.
NOTE
If segmenting traffic between the Access Point's WAN and LAN, you'll need to create
a VLAN. Complete steps 13 and 14 to define the VLAN. Otherwise, proceed to step 15.

Refer to the LAN IP Interface Settings field, and add a VLAN and Static IP as required
for enabling DHCP (within the Configuration > Services screen) for client IP address
requests and ensuring routable traffic.
