3.2 Internet Access
The Internet access wizard screen has three variations depending on what encapsulation type
you use. Refer to information provided by your ISP to know what to enter in each field. Leave
a field blank if you don’t have that information.
3.2.1 ISP Parameters
The ZyWALL offers three choices of encapsulation. They are Ethernet, PPTP or PPPoE.
The wizard screen varies according to the type of encapsulation that you select in the
Encapsulation field.
3.2.1.1 Ethernet
For ISPs (such as Telstra) that send UDP heartbeat packets to verify that the customer is still
online, please create a WAN-to-WAN/ZyWALL firewall rule for those packets. Contact your
ISP to find the correct port number.
Choose Ethernet when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet.
