CONNECTION METHOD

It is necessary to know the connection method used for the ADSL connection. The
connection method is also known as the ADSL Protocol, Encapsulation Protocol
or Encapsulation Method. These protocols are defined by "RFCs" which are
internationally recognized standards for networking protocols. You will be
required to configure the Router to use the correct method. PPP connections
require account information to be entered and stored in the device. Bridged
Ethernet connections require that the IP settings be set manually.
The Router supports three connection methods:
PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) used by default
PPP over ATM (RFC 2364)
Ethernet over ATM (RFC 1483)
Protocol: RFC 2516 Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
RFC 1483 Multi-protocol Encapsulation over ATM
RFC 2364 Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM
PPP CONNECTIONS (RFC 2516 & RFC 2364)

Account Information (User Name and Password)

For PPP connections, a User Name and Password for the user account are needed
to connect to the service provider's network.
