Protocol:

The PPPoA protocol will be used.

Description:

A given name for the connection.

VPI/VCI:

Enter the information provided by your ISP.

ATM Class:

The Quality of Service for ATM layer.

Username:

Enter the username provided by your ISP. You can input up to 128 alpha-numeric characters (case

sensitive). This is the format of username “username@ispname” instead of “username”.

Password:

Enter the password provided by your ISP. You can input up to 128 alpha-numeric characters (case

sensitive).

Service Name:

This item is for identification purposes. If it is required, your ISP will provide you the information.

Maximum input is 15 alpha-numeric characters.

NAT:

The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet through a single ISP

account, sharing a single IP address. If users on your LAN have public IP addresses and can access the Internet

directly, the NAT function can be disabled.

IP (0.0.0.0: Auto):

Your WAN IP address. Leave this at 0.0.0.0 to obtain an IP address automatically from your ISP.

Auth. Protocol:

Default is Auto. Your ISP should advise you on whether to use Chap or Pap.

Connection:

Always on:

If you want the router to establish a PPPoA session when starting up and to automatically re-

establish the PPPoE session when disconnected by the ISP.

Connect on Demand:

If you want to establish a PPPoA session only when there is a packet requesting access

to the Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer attempts to access the Internet).

Idle Timeout:

Auto-disconnect the broadband firewall gateway when there is no activity on the line for a predetermined

period of time.

MTU:

Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram, excluding media-specific headers, that IP will

attempt to send through the interface.

RIP:

RIP v1, RIP v2, and RIP v2 Multicast. Check to enable RIP function.

TCP MSS Clamp:

This option enables discovery of the optimal MTU size automatically. Default is enabled.

MAC Spoofing:

Some service providers require the configuration of this option. You must fill in the MAC address that

is specified by the service provider when it is required. Default is disabled.

Obtain DNS:

A Domain Name System (DNS) contains a mapping table for domain name and IP addresses. DNS

helps to find the IP address of a specific domain name. Check the checkbox to obtain DNS automatically.

3G

TEL No.:

The dial string to make a GPRS / 3G user internetworking call. It may be provided by your mobile service

provider.

APN:

An APN is similar to a URL; it is the unit makes a GPRS / UMTS call. The service provider is able to attach

anything to an APN to create a data connection. Requirements for APN assignment varies between service providers.

Most service providers have an internet portal which they connect a DHCP Server to, giving you access to the internet

i.e. Some 3G operators use the APN ‘internet’ for their portal. The default value of APN is “internet”.

Username:

Enter the username provided by your service provider.

Password:

Enter the password provided by your service provider.

Authentication Type:

Manually specify CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) or PAP (Password

Authentication Protocol) if you know which authentication type the server is using (when acting as a client), or the

authentication type you want the clients to use when they are connecting to you (when acting as a server). When using

PAP, the password is sent unencrypted, while CHAP encrypts the password before sending, and also allows for

challenges at different periods to ensure that an intruder has not replaced the client.

MTU:

Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram, excluding media-specific headers, that IP will

attempt to send through the interface.

PIN:

PIN stands for Personal Identification Number. A PIN code is a numeric value used in certain systems as a

password to gain access and authentication. In mobile phones a PIN code locks the SIM card until you enter the correct

code. If you enter the PIN code incorrectly into the phone 3 times in a row, then the SIM card will be blocked and a PUK

code will be required from your network service provider to unlock it.
