How to -

configure a Point to Point Protocol (PPPoE or PPPoA) broadband connection:

Open the

Broadband > Configure

page.

The two supported Point to Point Protocol variants (PPP over Ethernet and PPP over ATM) are configured identically. Your service provider will be
able to tell you which protocol to select and what your username, password, VPI and VCI values are.

1. Click the

Connection Type

pull-down menu and choose the protocol supported by your service provider: PPPoE or PPPoA.

2. Type your service provider account credentials in the

PPP Username

and

PPP Password

fields. Retype your password exactly in the

Retype

Password

field for confirmation.

3. Click the

PPP Connection Type

pull-down menu and choose the way the 2247-N8 will connect to the broadband PPP network:

Always Attempt to Connect: The 2247-N8 will attempt to keep the broadband connection active at all times.

Connect Manually: The 2247-N8 will only connect when you manually enter broadband connection credentials from the

Broadband > Con-

figuration

Quickstart

pages.

Connect on Demand: The 2247-N8 will use stored PPP credentials to log in when a connected client device attempts to connect to a service
or device on the Internet, and will close the connection down after a period of activity.

4. Set the Domain Name Service (DNS), Network Address Translation (NAT) and bridging configuration of your 2247-N8:

If you want to use a DNS server not set by your service provider, set the

Use Received DNS Addresses

pull-down menu to Off. Type the

IP address of a DNS server in the

Primary DNS Address

field. If desired, type an alternate DNS server’s IP address in the

Secondary DNS

Address

field.

If you are using NAT (with a number of devices on a private wired or wireless network), set the

NAT Enable

pull-down menu to On.

If your ISP requires a routing device on the LAN side of your DSL gateway, turn

Bridging

On, otherwise, leave it Off.

5. Set Virtual Path and Channel Identifiers, either by automatically detecting them, or specifying values supplied by your service provider:

To have the 2247-N8 attempt to automatically detect and set the channel identifiers, click the

Automatic VPI/VCI Detection

pull-down

menu and select On (the default).
