PPPoA Connections

The default connection method used by the Router is Point-to-Point-Protocol over ATM (PPPoA). In the PPPoA

Configuration window, you must enter the user name and password for network account authentication and

verification. When this information is entered, the changes must be saved and the Router restarted. In the

Bridge/Router Configuration

 window, follow these steps to establish the WAN connection using PPPoA:

1.

Under 

PPPoA Login

, enter the 

Login User Name 

used for your network account. The user name and

login password, are used to authenticate the identity of the ADSL client and provide access to the

service provider’s network. The user name and login password can be any combination of up to 64

characters.

2.

Enter the Login Password.

3.

Unless you are instructed to use a different 

Authentication

 method, leave the default 

chap

 protocol

selected. The alternative method, 

pap

, can be selected from the pull-down menu if required by the

service provider.

4.

Leave the 

Connect on Demand 

option as 

enabled

 in the pull-down menu. This will allow the Router to

establish a WAN connection upon restarting.

5.

Leave 

Idle Time

 set to the default value 0.

6.

Click on the 

OK

 button on the bottom of the window. A new screen appears:

Manager, select the “Continue and do ‘Save Changes’ later” option and click

OK, and go to the System Username and Password menu in the Maintenance

folder.
