4.4.2.1 PPPoA Connection Setup
PPPoA is described in RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over ATM cells which are
carried over the DSL line. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is a method of establishing a network session
between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users. LLC and VC are two
different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your ISP to make sure which encapsulation is
being supported.
By selecting PPPoA, you are forcing your router to terminate the PPPoA connection. The advantage is that the
PPPoA termination is done within the router and not on your PC; this frees up your PC resources and allows
multiple users to utilize the PPPoA connection.
To configure the router for PPPoA:
1. Click on Setup and then click on New Connection . The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed.
2. At the Type field select PPPoA. The PPPoA connection setup page is displayed. Figure 5 illustrates a
typical PPPoA configuration.
3. Give your PPPoA connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with
numbers. In this example the unique name is PPPOA1 .
4. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode.
5. Select the VPI and VCI settings; your service provider will supply these. In this example the DSL
service provider is using 0,40 .
