PPPoE/PPPoA
Selecting this option in the WAN Settings will change your screen to look like the one seen below.
PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a standard method of establishing a network connection/session
between networked devices. Different forms of PPP include PPPoA and PPPoE, and they involve an
authentication process that requires a username and password to gain access to the network. PPPoE
(PPP over Ethernet), as described in RFC 2516, is a method of using PPP through the Ethernet
network. PPPoA (PPP over ATM) configuration is over ATM and requires the same basic information
as the previously discussed PPPoE. Both configuration menus are identical. To configure the
connection for PPPoE/PPPoA, perform the steps listed below. Some of the settings do not need to be
changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose.
This window holds the following fields for the user to configure.
