4.4.1.2 PPPoA Connection Setup
PPPoA is also known as RFC 2364. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over ATM cells which are
carried over the DSL line. PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a method of establishing a network connection
/ session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users. LLC and VC are
two different methods of encapsulating the PPP packet. Contact your ISP to make sure which encapsulation
is being supported.
By selecting PPPoA, you are forcing your CPE to terminate the PPPoA connection. The advantage is that
the PPPoA termination is done within the CPE and not on your PC; this frees up your PC resources and
allows multiple users to utilize the PPPoA connection.
To configure the CPE for PPPoA, click on Setup and then click on
New Connection . The default PPPoE
connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select PPPoA and the PPPoA connection setup page is
displayed; figure 5 illustrates a typical PPPoA configuration. Give your PPPoA connection a unique name;
the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case the unique name is called
PPPOA1 . Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode. Select
the VPI and VCI settings; your DSL service provider or your ISP will supply these; in this case the DSL
service provider is using
0,40 . Also select the quality of service (QOS); leave the default value if you are
unsure or the ISP did not provide this information.
Following is a description of the different options:
a. Username: The username for the PPPoA access; this is provided by your DSL service
provider or your ISP.
b. Password: The password for the PPPoA access; this is provided by your DSL service provider
or your ISP.
c. On-Demand: Enables on-demand mode. The connection will disconnect if no activity is
detected after the specified idle timeout value.
d. Idle Timeout: Specifies that PPPoA connection should disconnect if the link has no activity
detected for n seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On-Demand feature. To
ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field.
