To set up a PPPoE or PPPoA connection:
1.
If not already selected, choose the
PPPoE/PPPoA
option from the
WAN Settings
pull-down menu.
PPPoE/PPPoA is selected by default if you are configuring the Router for the first time.
2.
Under the
ATM VC Settings
at the top of the window should not be changed unless you have been instructed to
change them. However, if you are instructed to change the
VPI
or
VCI
values, type in the values assigned for your
account. Leave the
PVC
and
Virtual Circuit
setting at the default (
Pcv0
and
Enabled
) values for now. This can be
used later if you are configuring multiple virtual circuits for your ADSL service. For more information on ATM
VC Settings, see the table on page 41 below.
3.
Under the
PPPoE/PPPoA
heading, type the
User Name
and
Password
used for your ADSL account. A typical
User Name will be in the form
. The Password may be assigned to you by your ISP or you
may have selected it when you set up the account with your ISP.
4.
Choose the
Connection Type
from the pull-down menu located under the User Name and Password entry fields.
This defines both the connection protocol and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The available
options are
PPPoE LLC,
PPPoA LLC
, and
PPPoA VC-Mux,
and
.
If have not been provided specific information
for the Connection Type setting, leave the default setting.
5.
Leave the
MTU
value at the default setting (default =
1400
) unless you have specific reasons to change this (see
table below).
6.
Leave the
MRU
value at the default setting (default =
1492
) unless you have specific reasons to change this (see
table below).
7.
Leave the
Default Route
enabled if you want to use the Router as the default route to the Internet for your LAN.
Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to access the Internet, the Router becomes the Internet gateway to the
computer. If you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable this without effecting the Router’s
connection.
8.
NAT
should remain
Enabled
. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use more than one computer for Internet
connections. NAT is enabled and disabled system-wide, therefore if you are using multiple virtual connections,
NAT will disabled on all connections.
9.
The
Firewall
should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this you will not be able to use the
features configured in the
Firewall Configuration
and
Filters
windows located in the
Advanced
directory. See
the next chapter for more details on these windows.
10.
Typically the globally IP settings (i.e. IP address for the WAN interface) for a PPPoA or PPPoA connection will
use Dynamic IP assignment from the ISP. Some accounts may be assigned a specific global IP address. If you
have been give an IP address for you PPPoE/PPPoA connection, select the
Static IP
option from the
IP Control
pull-down menu. This menu can be used to configure the WAN port as an Unnumbered IP interface. (See table
below for Unnumbered IP).
11.
Choose the desired
Connection Setting
. Select from: Always ON, Connection On Demand, or Manual. Most
users will want to choose the default connection setting, Always ON.
12.
Most users will not need to change
ATM
settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the ADSL connection
it is recommended that you leave the
Service Category
settings at the default values until you have established the
connection. See the table on page 40 for a description of the parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.
13.
When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the
Apply
button.
14.
The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To save and
reboot the Router, click on the
Tools
directory tab and then click the
System
button. In the
System Settings
window, click the
Save and
Reboot
button under Save Settings and Reboot the System.
15.
Click
OK
when the following “Save and restart?” dialog box opens.

The Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will automatically establish the WAN
connection.
Setting details for PPPoE/PPPoA connections:
PPPoE/PPPoA Parameters
Description
User Name
For PPP connections, a User Name and Password are used to identify
and verify your account to the ISP. Enter the User Name for your ADSL
service account. User names and passwords are case-sensitive, so enter
this information exactly as given to you by your ISP.
Password
Together with the User Name, this is used to verify your account to the
ISP. Enter the Password exactly as given to you by your ISP.
Connection Type
This specifies the protocol (PPPoE or PPPoA) and the encapsulation
method (LLC or VC-Mux) used for your connection. The options available
are
PPPoE LLC
,
PPPoA LLC
or
PPPoA VC-Mux
.
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to
optimize efficiency for uploading data through the WAN interface. The
default setting (
1400
bytes) should be suitable for most users. Some
user may want to adjust the setting to optimize performance for wireless
traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet gaming). It
is highly recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU
may effect network traffic for better or worse.
MRU
Similar to the MTU, except this applies to Maximum Received Unit size
for downloading data. Most users will be happy with the default setting
(
1492
bytes). However this may also be optimized for fast downloads of
general bulk Internet traffic, for low latency or for downloading to
computers on the Wireless LAN. As with the MTU setting, the user
should carefully consider how changing the MRU may affect Internet
downloads for all systems on your LAN.
Default Route
When this is enabled, the Router will be considered to be the primary
gateway to the Internet and WAN for systems on your network. If you
are using the Router on a network with one or more alternative gateway
routers, you may prefer to disable this if you will use another router as
the primary gateway.
NAT
Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-
down menu. Keep in mind that disabling NAT allows only a single
computer to be used for Internet access through the Router. NAT is
enabled and disabled for the Router on all connections (i.e. Pvc0 – Pvc7)
if your Router is set up for multiple virtual connections.
Firewall
Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features
available in the Router. If you disable this you will not be able to
configure settings in the
Firewall Configuration
window or
Filters
window in the
Advanced
directory.
IP Control
This is used to determine how global IP settings are handled for the
WAN interface. Typically PPPoE or PPPoA connections will use the
29

Page 40 / 121
WBMR-G54 Wireless ADSL Router User Guide
default setting for
Dynamic IP
. Some users will be given a specific IP
address for the WAN interface. In this case you need to change this
setting to
Static IP
. When Static IP is selected in the IP Control menu,
you need to type in the global IP address provided to you by your ISP.
The
IP Unnumbered
option is used if you want to set up a non-TCP/IP
port protocol link through the WAN interface. An IP Unnumbered
interface does not have an IP address and therefore cannot be managed
via Telnet or any other TCP/IP application.
Static IP
If you have selected the
Static IP
option in the IP Control menu, type in
the global IP address used for your WAN interface. Your ISP should
provide this IP address to you.
Connection Setting
Select the desired option: Always ON, Connection On Demand, or
Manual. Most users will want to choose the default connection setting,
Always ON.
