WAN Connection Type
The ADSL Connection type sets the way your NB5580/W works with the ADSL
Service supplied by your ISP. The Most common choice for this setting is either
Gateway using PPPoE or Gateway using PPPoA these will work for most ISP's ADSL
services and will safely share your Internet access with your LAN:
■
Gateway using PPPoE
■
Gateway using PPPoA
■
Gateway using Classical IP
■
Gateway using LLC Encaps. (Dynamic IP)
■
Gateway using LLC Encaps. (Static IP)
■
Router using Classical IP
■
Modem using LLC Encaps.
Gateway, Router and Modem are different working modes that the NetComm NB5580/W
can use. It is highly recommended that you use the Gateway mode, which is NAT
enabled. It not only allows LAN users to share a single IP Address, but also protects
your LAN network from outside intruders. If the NetComm NB5580/W is set to the
Router mode or the Modem mode, all the computers in the LAN will have to be assigned
fixed public IP Addresses. The Router mode allows users to specify which routing path
data packets should take. If using the Modem mode, most functions of the NB5580/W
are not used and you will need to use a second router or computer to authenticate your
ISP account.
LLC Encaps, Classical IP, PPPoE, and PPPoA are connection modes that use different
protocols to create the initial session between your NetComm NB5580/W and ISP's
equipment. Your ISP may indicate the connection mode you should set. If you don't
know which one to choose, connect your ISP to get this information.
