3.4.1.2. Router with a PPPoE-Based DSL/Cable Connection
Fig. 28. TCP/IP settings for Router with a PPPoE-Based DSL/Cable Connection mode.
If the WIASA was set to be in Router with a PPPoE-Based DSL/Cable Connection mode, two IP
addresses are needed—one for the Ethernet/wireless LAN interfaces and the other for the WAN in-
terface. The IEEE 802.11b interface and the Ethernet LAN interface share the LAN IP address. The
LAN IP address must be set manually to a private IP address, say 192.168.0.xxx. The default LAN IP
address is 192.168.0.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. In most cases, these default set-
tings need no change.
As for the WAN IP address, it is obtained automatically by PPPoE from the ISP. Consult your ISP for
the correct User name, Password, and Service name settings.
Custom MAC Address of WAN Interface enables you to change the MAC address of the Ethernet
WAN interface. Therefore, if the ISP-provided DSL or cable modem works only with the
ISP-provided Ethernet card for a computer, the WAN interface of the WIASA can mimic the
ISP-provided Ethernet card by changing its MAC address to the Ethernet card's MAC address.
The WIASA automatically disconnects the PPPoE connection after there has been no traffic to the
Internet for a period specified by Idle disconnect time.
NOTE:
If Idle disconnect time is set to 0, the PPPoE connection will not be disconnected.
