Description
Encapsulation is a method for enclosing multiple protocols. PPP
stands for Point-to-Point Protocol. The choices are:
• PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet)
• PPPoA (PPP over ATM)
The login name provided by your ISP. This is often an email address.
The password that you use to log in to your ISP.
If you want to change the login time-out, enter a new value in
minutes. This determines how long the wireless modem router keeps
the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from
the LAN. Entering a value of 0 (zero) means never log out.
• Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP
address. Your ISP automatically assigns these addresses.
• Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and
the gateway IP address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the
ISP's wireless modem router to which your wireless modem router
will connect.
Use IP Over ATM (IPoA). Your ISP uses classical IP addresses (RFC
1577). Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway IP
addresses that your ISP assigned.
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their
names.
• Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your
DNS servers. Your ISP automatically assigns this address.
• Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP does not
automatically transmit DNS addresses to the wireless modem
router during login, select this option, and enter the IP address of
your ISP's primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address
is available, enter it also.
