DESCRIPTION
Enter the user name exactly as your ISP assigned. If assigned a name
in the form user@domain where domain identifies a service name,
then enter both components exactly as given.
Enter the password associated with the user name above.
Type the name of your PPPoE service here.
This field is not available for a PPPoA connection (DSL WAN interface).
The ZyXEL Device supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol). CHAP is
more secure than PAP; however, PAP is readily available on more
platforms.
Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for
outgoing calls. Options are:
AUTO - Your ZyXEL Device accepts either CHAP or PAP when
requested by this remote node.
CHAP - Your ZyXEL Device accepts CHAP only.
PAP - Your ZyXEL Device accepts PAP only.
MSCHAP - Your ZyXEL Device accepts MSCHAP only. MS-CHAP is the
Microsoft version of the CHAP.
A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP
address is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time you
connect to the Internet. Select this if you do not have a dynamic IP
address.
