PPPoA (RFC 2364)
Some DSL-based service providers use Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM (PPPoA) to
establish Internet connections. If you are connected to the Internet through a DSL
line, check with your service provider to see if they use PPPoA. If they do, you will
have to enable PPPoA.
Complete the following steps to use the PPPoA option.
1
Navigate to the ADSL screen.
Path
: Setup > ADSL
2
Select
PPPoA
from the Connection Type drop-down menu.
3
Enter the Basic Settings values in the following fields:
Gateway Probing
This feature provides the capability for the residential
gateway to detect if a loss of IP connectivity occurs. Select
Enable
if you want
the WAG310G to probe the WAN default gateway at certain intervals
(specified by the user) by sending an ARP request and it will look for an ARP
reply from the server.
Once a loss in IP connectivity is detected (i.e., no ARP
reply received), the WAG310G will initiate a request for a new DHCP lease.
Probing Using Unicast
Select
Enable
to send unicast ARP requests to
the server. Select
Disable
to send out broadcast ARP.
Probing Interval
Enter the number of seconds to wait after detecting
the loss of connectivity before probing sending an ARP request.
Primary (Required) and Secondary (Optional) DNS
Enter the DNS
(Domain Name System) server IP address(es) provided by your service
provider. At least one is required.
Username
and
Password
Enter the Username and Password provided by
your service provider.

Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time
You can configure the Gateway to cut
the Internet connection after it has been inactive for a specified period of time
(Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has been terminated due to
inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Gateway to automatically re-
establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again.
To use this option, select Connect on Demand. In the Max Idle Time field,
enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet
connection terminates. The default Max Idle Time is 5 minutes.
Keep Alive
If you select this option, the Gateway will periodically check
your Internet connection. If you are disconnected, then the Gateway will
automatically re-establish your connection. To use this option, select Keep
Alive.
Service Name (Advanced View)
Enter the Service Name (optional)
provided by your service provider.
4
Enter the Advanced View settings values in the following fields:
NAT
To use Network Address Translation, keep the default Enabled.
Otherwise, select Disabled.
IGMP Forwarding
Select Enabled, if you want to allow multicast traffic
through the Router for your multimedia application devices. Otherwise, keep
the default, Disabled.
Dedicate The Connection To Voice (FXS1/FXS2)
Select Enabled, if you
want to use this connection for FXS1/FXS2 outbound phone calls. (You can
enable this option for only one Internet connection.) Otherwise, keep the
default, Disabled.
VLAN ID Mark
Enter the 802.1Q VLAN ID Mark to be used on traffic to
and from the interface associated with this connection. The default is -1,
which indicates that the VLAN connection is untagged. Range is
0 through
4095.
802.1p Mark
Enter the 802.1p (Ethernet priority) Mark to be used on traffic
sent out on this connection. A value of -1 indicates no change from the
incoming packet. The default is -1.
Override Ethernet Priority
If this option is disabled and the 802.1p Mark is
specified, then the 802.1p Mark is applied only to packets of priority 0. If this
option is enabled and the 802.1p Mark is specified, then the 802.1p Mark is
applied to all packets on this connection. To enable this option, select the
check box. Otherwise, leave the check box blank.
RIP Recv Packet Version
Select the Routing Information Protocol (RIP)
version you want to use: RIP off, RIPv1, or RIPv2.
Domain Name
Enter the Domain Name for this connection. The DNS
proxy will compare Domain Names to choose the connection that will send
out DNS queries.

WAN Access Options
The WAG310G supports two types of WAN access - ADSL and Ethernet. However,
ADSL WAN access and Ethernet WAN are mutually exclusive. The ADSL WAN is
active by default with one PVC enabled (PVC 0/35).
WAN Connection for PVC
Use this screen to change settings for the selected Wide Area Network (WAN)
connection.
For most WAN connection types, the displayed settings match the settings on the
Setup > ADSL screen; however, additional options appear for IPoE.
Note
: PVCs are layer 2 (physical and link), while WAN connections are layer 3,
meaning IP and Point-to-Point (PPP) connections. Each PVC supports multiple
connections. For each PVC, you can configure one IP connection and up to four PPP
over Ethernet (PPPoE) connections. (This type of configuration helps separate out
the different types of traffic.)
Complete the following steps to setup the additional options for a WAN connection
with a connection type of IPoE.
1
Navigate to the ADSL screen.
Path
: Setup > ADSL
