LABEL DESCRIPTION
ISP Parameters
for Internet
Access
Encapsulation The PPPoE choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The router supports
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF standard (RFC
2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem
(for example, DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. Operationally, PPPoE saves
significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific
configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By implementing
PPPoE directly on the router rather than individual computers, the computers on
the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the router does that part of
the task. Further, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have access.
Service Name Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to
identify and reach the PPPoE server.
User Name Type the user name given to you by your ISP.
