WAN Setup>New Connection
If you click ‘New Connection’ you will see the screen shown below.
The Connection setup page requires you to choose the correct settings to work with
your ADSL connection as specified by your ISP. The screen will add or remove non-
applicable choices as you change options. There are a few main settings you will
need to confirm with your ISP before you can complete this page, these are;
• Type of Connection (e.g. PPPoE, PPPoA, Static, DHCP, Bridge, CLIP)
• Username & Password (usually only required for PPPoE or PPPoA types)
• VPI & VCI (usually VPI=8 and VPI =35)
• Authentication (Usually AUTO will work otherwise check with your ISP)
Most other choices on this screen are personal preference and not critical to getting
your connection working.
Note: The Username & Password you need to type in here is for your ISP’s ac-
count and it will be supplied to you by your ISP.
