Using Advanced Setup
“Broadband Connection via PPPoA” screen:
If a
User Name
and
Password
was entered in the Installation Buddy or during
Basic Setup, it should be displayed in the “Broadband Connection via
PPPoE/
PPPoA
” screen. If not, enter the information now. If the information is unavailable,
contact the
ISP
.
PPP Auto Connect
If
PPP
auto connect
is activated (by clicking in the appropriate check box), the
Gateway will attempt to automatically redial the
PPP
connection if it is dropped
or disconnected during an online session. Actiontec recommends that you turn
PPP
Auto Connect
ON
.
Encapsulation (PPPoA only)
Select one of the encapsulation options, based on information received from the
ISP
.
Obtain an IP Through DHCP
Select this option if the
IP
service is configured to use
RFC
1483 Bridged or Routed
(used for configurations without a Static
IP
assigned by an
ISP
). In this mode, the
Gateway will query the Internet Service Provider (
ISP
) to receive the
IP
address
and routing information, which will terminate at the Gateway, as opposed to the
IP
address and routing information being bridged to terminate at the computer. This
allows the use of the router capabilities for the Local Area Network (
LAN
).
Some
ISP
s need to authenticate their end users with a
Host Name
and/or
Domain
Name
. If this is the case, check with the
ISP
for a host name and domain name and
enter them in the appropriate text boxes in the “Broadband Connection via
DHCP
”
screen. If the
ISP
does not require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.
