Configuring the WAN Connection

Use the Multiple PVC menu to configure the WAN interface for PVC settings and other settings used to
configure the ADSL connection and the connection to the service provider's network. Use this menu to add,
change or delete PVC connection profiles if you have a multiple PVC account. The following section, Additional
Virtual Connections (PVCs), describes how to set up additional PVC connection profiles.
Figure 5 - 1. WAN Configuration
The Router may be configured to use common Encapsulation and connection methods commonly used for
ADSL service. The information that is needed for the different method varies according to connection type.
Therefore the menu will change to offer different settings depending on whether the connection is a PPP, IPoA
or Bridged connection type.
To configure a single PVC profile, select the Encapsulation setting first. This may change the user configurable
variables that are offered. The default Encapsulation used for the Index 1 profile is PPPoA LLC. Table 5 - 1.
WAN Connection Configuration on the next page lists the configuration settings for the different Encapsulation
types.
