Pppoe And Pppoa Connection For Wan - D-Link DSL-504G User Manual

PPPoE and PPPoA Connection for WAN

Most ADSL accounts will use either PPPoE or PPPoA type connections. Follow the instructions below to
configure the Router to use a PPPoE or PPPoA for the Internet connection. Make sure you have all the necessary
information before you configure the WAN connection. See the Record Your Account Information table in the
first section of this manual for a summary of the information you will need.
1. Click to select the PPPoE/PPPoA radio button in the WAN Settings options list. This is selected by
default if you are configuring the Router for the first time. If it is not selected, click the PPPoE/PPPoA
radio button located under the WAN Settings heading.
2. Under the PPPoE/PPPoA heading, type the User Name and Password used for your ADSL account. A
typical User Name will be in the form user@isp.com.au, the Password may be assigned to you by your
ISP or you may have selected it when you set up the account with your ISP.
3. Choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu located under the User Name and Password
entry fields. This defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method used for your ADSL
service. The available options are PPPoA VC-MUX, PPPoA LLC, PPPoE VC-MUX and PPPoE LLC.
Most users in Australia will use PPPoA VC-Mux, or PPPoE LLC. Most users in New Zealand will use
PPPoA VC-Mux. If have not been provided specific information for the Connection Type setting, leave
the default setting.
4. Leave the MRU value at the default setting (default = 1492) unless you have been instructed to change
this.
5. Select the Authentication method as instructed by your ISP. Choose PAP or CHAP from the pull-
down menu.
6. The Obtain DNS Automatically is Enabled by default. When this is enabled, the Router will request
DNS settings from your ISP's DNS server. If your ISP has provided a specific IP address to use for
DNS, you should select Disabled and manually configure DNS settings in the DNS menu (see
Configure DNS below). You will not be able to access Internet web sites until the DNS settings are
properly configured. Be sure to configure this before you save the new settings and restart the Router.
7. If you are instructed to use enable Default Route, this setting specifies that the Router be used to define
the default route to the Internet for your LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to access the
Internet, the Router becomes the Internet gateway to the computer.
8. The ATM VC Settings at the top of the menu should not be changed unless you have been instructed to
change them. However, if you are instructed to change the VPI or VCI values, type in the values
assigned for your account. Most users in Australia will use a VPI of 8, and a VCI of 35. Most users in
New Zealand will use a VPI of 0, and a VCI of 100. Leave the PVC and Virtual Circuit settings at their
default (Pcv0 and Enabled) values for now. These can be used later if you are configuring multiple
virtual circuits for your ADSL service.
9. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.

Save & Reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the Misc (Miscellaneous)
menu button. In the Miscellaneous menu, click he Save & Reboot button. The Router will save the new
settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically establish a connection to the Internet.
