Wizard Setup

802.11b is only supported for the BIPAC-5100W

This chapter provides information on the Wizard Setup screens in the web configurator.

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 Compact Guide

or Read Me First. Your ISP may have already configured some of the fields in the wizard

screens for you.

Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The BIPAC-5100/5100W

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 BIPAC-5100/5100W 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 appendix.

3.2.3 PPPoA

PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). It provides
