Chapter 4: Wizard Setup
This chapter provides information on the Wizard Setup screens in the web
configurator.
4.1 Wizard Setup Introduction
Use the Wizard Setup screens to configure your system for Internet access
settings and fill in the fields with the information in the Internet Account
Information table of the Compact Guide or Read Me First. Your ISP may have
already configured some of the fields in the wizard screens for you.
4.2 Encapsulation
Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The ADSL Router
supports the following methods.
4.2.1 ENET ENCAP
The MAC Encapsulated Routing Link Protocol (ENET ENCAP) is only
implemented with the IP network protocol. IP packets are routed between the
Ethernet interface and the WAN interface and then formatted so that they can be
understood in a bridged environment. For instance, it encapsulates routed
Ethernet frames into bridged ATM cells. ENET ENCAP requires that you specify a
gateway IP address in the Ethernet Encapsulation Gateway field in the second
wizard screen. You can get this information from your ISP.
4.2.2 PPP over Ethernet
PPPoE provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to
dial-up services using PPP. The ADSL Router bridges a PPP session over
Ethernet (PPP over Ethernet, RFC 2516) from your computer to an ATM PVC
(Permanent Virtual Circuit) which connects to ADSL Access Concentrator where
the PPP session terminates. One PVC can support any number of PPP sessions
from your LAN. For more information on PPPoE, see the appendix.
4.2.3 PPPoA
PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). It
provides access control and billing functionality in a manner similar to dial-up
services using PPP. The ADSL Router encapsulates the PPP session based on
