D-Link DSL-500 [38/73] Connection configuration

DSL-500 ADSL Router User’s Guide

Connection Configuration

To establish the WAN connection, the Router must be configured to suit the

requirements of the ADSL connection protocol. This section discusses how to

configure the Router for the various connection types. Most ADSL clients will use

the default method PPPoE, discussed below. If you are using an ADSL service

that employs an alternative connection method, namely, PPP over ATM

(RFC 2364) or “Bridged Ethernet” Multiprotocol Encapsulation over IP (RFC

1483), please skip ahead to the section on Connection Method.

PPPoE Configuration

The default connection method used by the Router is PPPoE as defined by RFC

2516. Use the PPPoE Configuration window to set the VPI and VCI values and

enter your network account name and password. This window is also used to

terminate the WAN (PPP) connection.

To bring up the PPPoE Configuration window, click on the PPPoE Configuration

menu button and the following screen will appear:
