PPPoE (EWAN)
PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) provides access control in a manner similar to dial-up services using PPP.
Username: Enter the username provided by your ISP. You can input up to 128 alphanumeric
characters (case sensitive). This is in the format of "username@ispname" instead of simply
"username".
Password: Enter the password provided by your ISP. You can input up to 128 alphanumeric
characters (case sensitive)
Service Name: This item is for identification purposes. If it is required, your ISP provides you the
information. Maximum input is 15 alphanumeric characters.
NAT: The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet
through a single ISP account, sharing a single IP address. If users on your LAN have public IP
addresses and can access the Internet directly, the NAT function can be disabled.
IP Address: Your WAN IP address. Leave this at 0.0.0.0 to automatically obtain an IP address from
your ISP.
Auth. Protocol: Default is Auto. Your ISP advises on using Chap or Pap.
Obtain DNS Automatically: Select this check box to use DNS.
Primary DNS/ Secondary DNS: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are
passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address and the Netmask.
Connection:
Always on: If you want the router to establish a PPPoE session when starting up and to
automatically re-establish the PPPoE session when disconnected by the ISP.
Connect to Demand (un-select Always On): If you want to establish a PPPoE session only
when there is a packet requesting access to the Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer
attempts to access the Internet). In this mode, you must set Idle Timeout value at same time.
Idle Timeout: Auto-disconnect the broadband firewall gateway when there is no activity on the line for
a predetermined period of time. The minimum value is 10 minutes.
MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific
headers) an IP attempts to send through the interface.
