Configure the WAN Connection

Now that you have accessed the web-based manager, you must configure the
Router for the ADSL connection (VPI/VCI pair) and provide other information to
establish the WAN connection. The other information provided depends on the
type of WAN connection you have. For PPPoE and PPPoA connections, you will
need to provide a User Name and Password used for authentication purposes.
For "Bridged Ethernet" (RFC 1483) connections a static IP address must be used.
It is necessary to supply IP settings for the WAN connection and other
information discussed in Chapter 2, Prepare for Installation. All connection
methods available to the Router are discussed in this chapter, beginning with
PPPoE connections. PPPoE is the most commonly used protocol to provide ADSL
connection and is the default method used by the Router. For a more detailed
discussion of the various menu items in the connection configuration windows,
see Chapter 5, Web-based Management.
If you are using either a PPPoA or Bridged Ethernet (RFC 1483) connection it
will be necessary to change the connection method. Please read the section
Changing the Connection Type following the PPPoE Configuration section for
more information.

PPPoE Connections

The default connection method used by the Router is Point-to-Point-Protocol over
Ethernet (PPPoE) as defined in RFC 2516. In the PPPoE Configuration window
(shown below) you must to enter the VPI and VCI values, as well as the user
name and password for network account authentication and verification. When
this information is entered, the changes must be saved and the Router restarted.
Follow these steps to establish the PPP and ADSL network connection:
