Basic Setup & Internet Access
do not support Multiple-Link PPP (ML-PPP). In such cases
dialing to two ISPs can increase the bandwidth utilization of
the ISDN line to 128kbps data speed.
PPPoE: This is for most DSL modem users. All local users
can share one PPPoE connection to access the Internet.
PPTP: Some DSL services providers supply a special DSL
modem (e.g. Alcatel's DSL modem). This kind of modem only
supports the PPTP tunnel method to access the Internet. In
these cases, you create a PPTP tunnel that carries a PPP
session and terminates on the DSL modem. Once the tunnel
has been established, this kind of DSL modem will forward the
PPP session to the ISP. As long as the PPP session is con-
nected, all the local users will be able to share this PPP ses-
sion to access to the Internet.
Static or Dynamic IP: On this page you configure the LAN2/
WAN interface to use a static (fixed) IP or dynamic (DHCP
client) IP address. Most cable users will use the dynamic IP
address mode to get a globally reachable IP address from the
cable head-end system.
