Step 3: PPPoE/PPPoA

PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a standard

method of establishing a network

connection/session between networked devices.

Different forms of PPP include PPPoA and

PPPoE, and they involve an authentication process

that requires a username and password to gain

access to the network. PPPoE (Point to Point

Protocol over Ethernet), as described in RFC

2516, is a method of using PPP through the

Ethernet network. PPPoA (Point to Point Protocol

over ATM) configuration requires the same basic

information as the previously discussed PPPoE

and both configuration menus are identical. To

configure the connection for PPPoE/PPPoA,

perform the steps listed below. After setting the

values listed, click the

Next

button to go to Step 4

of the Configuration Wizard.

Step 4-1: Set Wireless LAN Connection

To configure the Wireless LAN Connection, enter

the SSID and the Channel number to be used for

the Wireless LAN. The

SSID

can be changed to

suit your wireless network. Remember that any

wireless device using the access point must have

the same SSID and use the same channel. The

SSID must be a continuous character string (i.e.

no spaces) of up to 16 characters in length. The

Channel

may be changed to channels that are

available in your region. Channels available for

Wireless LAN communication are subject to

regional and national regulation. It is

recommended to setup some form of security in

order to keep your network safe from unwanted

connections. We advise that you use a minimum

of 64/128 bit WEP. Click

Next

to go to step 5 of

the Configuration Wizard.
