Pppoe Connection Setup; Nat - NetComm NB4 User Manual

PPPoE Connection Setup

If you click 'New Connection' or 'Connection 0' you will be prompted with the screen shown
below.
If you clicked 'New Connection' the screen will have mainly blank options which need to be
filled in. This is for manually creating a new connection account that will be used at the same
time or in place of the 'Quick Start' account (a.k.a. Connection 0).
If you clicked 'Connection 0' you will be editing the existing settings that were created during
the 'Quick Start' process.
The Connection setup page requires you to choose the correct settings to work with your
ADSL connection as specified by your ISP. The screen will add or remove non-applicable
choices as you change options. There are a few main settings you will need to confirm with
your ISP before you can complete this page, these are;
■
Type of Connection (e.g. PPPoE, PPPoA, Bridge)
■
Username & Password (usually only required for PPPoE or PPPoA types)
■
VPI & VCI (usually VPI=8 and VPI =35, Some times this can be 1 & 32)
■
Authentication (Usually AUTO will work otherwise check with your ISP)
Most other choices on this screen are personal preference and not critical to getting your
connection working.
Note: The Username & Password you need to type in here is for your ISP's account
and it will be supplied to you by your ISP.

NAT

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method of mapping one or more IP addresses and/or
IP service ports into different specified values. Firewall is available in addition to the built-in
NAT mechanism. When working with wide area connections, the first thing you must do is to
have the handle of the connection. Once you have the handle for a Connection you must
define the PVC and protocol settings for it.
