ADSL-mode – PPPoA Router
28 EN/LZT 108 6377 R4 - September 2003
8 ADSL-mode – PPPoA Router
8.1 Description
This ADSL-mode, much like the “RFC1483 MER Router” mode, allows the
user to connect an almost unlimited number of PCs on the LAN/WLAN with
only one IP address from the ISP. All traffic from the LAN/WLAN uses the
same PVC.
NOTE! This ADSL-mode is applicable if your ISP uses PPPoA as
connection type.
The HN294d has a built-in PPPoA client that will be assigned a public IP
address from the BRAS at the ISP. The ISP uses PPPoA (or dial-up)
connection to identify users and allow them Internet access. This type of
connection requires a Username and a Password.
The HN294d automatically activates the NAT (Network Address
Translation) service and its internal DHCP server. The built-in PPPoA client
will provide the built-in DHCP server with information so that no
configuration is needed of the built-in DHCP server (DNS information etc is
filled in automatically). PCs on the LAN/WLAN will be assigned private IP
addresses from the built-in DHCP server and the NAT service will route the
traffic to/from the WAN.
