LABEL
ISP Parameters for Internet Access
Encapsulation You must choose the Ethernet option when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet.
Otherwise, choose PPPoE or PPTP for a dial-up connection.
Service Type Choose from Standard, Telstra (RoadRunner Telstra authentication method), RR-
Manager (Roadrunner Manager authentication method), RR-Toshiba (Roadrunner
Toshiba authentication method) or Telia Login.
The following fields are not applicable (N/A) for the Standard service type.
User Name Type the user name given to you by your ISP.
Password Type the password associated with the user name above.
Retype Password Type your password again for confirmation.
Login Server IP Type the authentication server IP address here if your ISP gave you one.
Address
This field is not available for Telia Login.
Login Server Type the domain name of the Telia login server, for example "login1.telia.com".
(Telia Login only)
Alternatively, click the right mouse button to copy and/or paste the IP address.
Relogin Every The Telia server logs the ZyWALL out if the ZyWALL does not log in periodically. Type
(min) (Telia Login the number of minutes from 1 to 59 (30 default) for the ZyWALL to wait between logins.

PPPoE Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF
(Internet Engineering Task Force) draft standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts
with a broadband modem (for example xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed
data networks. It preserves the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking experience and requires no
new learning or procedures.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing
access control systems (for instance, Radius). For the user, PPPoE provides a login and authentication
method that the existing Microsoft Dial-Up Networking software can activate, and therefore requires
no new learning or procedures for Windows users.
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services, a
function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and
offer new IP services for specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it requires
no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the ZyWALL (rather than individual computers), the computers
on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the ZyWALL does that part of the task.
Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.
Refer to the appendix for more information on PPPoE.
