PPPoE xDSL Connection
1. If you connect to the Internet using an xDSL modem and you use
a login name and password, your ISP uses PPPoE. If your ISP
requires a login name and a password or you know your ISP uses
PPPoE, click the "PPPoE xDSL" radio button on the Broadband Type
screen to show the PPPoE connection setup screen.
2. Enter the User Name and Password required by your ISP in the
appropriate fields.
3. If your ISP has provided you with a service name, enter it in
the PPPoE "Service Name" field, otherwise, leave it blank. A
Domain Name Server (DNS) is like an index of names and Web
addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as
www.whitehouse.gov, a DNS server will find that name in its
index and find the matching IP address: 198.137.240.92. Most
ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. Since you
are connecting to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is
likely that your DNS servers are also provided dynamically.
Note: Please be aware that the setting "Maximium Idle Time" to
"0" and/or "Auto-Reconnect" enabled can cause increased
telephone bills. For further information please visit www.smc-
europe.com or contact SMC's technical support team.
4. If you are connecting to the Internet through PPPoE, you
probably do not need to enter anything here.
5. Click "FINISH" when completed.

Many ISPs use modems that provide auto-configuration. Sometimes
connection information is stored on the modem and needs to be
updated. You may need to shut down and restart your modem after
you have configured your Barricade.
6. Restart your xDSL modem by removing the power, waiting a few
seconds, and then reconnecting it.
Congratulations! Basic configuration is complete and your Barricade
is now connected to the Internet. There are also some advanced
configuration options that may be configured, but we do not
recommend making any changes to these options unless you need to.
For instructions for the advanced configuration options, please refer
to the User Guide found on the CD or on www.smc-europe.com.
