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 gateway to terminate the PPPoA connection.
The advantage is that the PPPoA termination is done within the gateway and not on
your PC; this frees up your PC resources and allows multiple users to utilize the
PPPoA connection.
Follow the instructions below to configure the gateway as PPPoA.
1. From the Setup main page, click on New Connection.
The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed.
2. At the Type field select PPPoA.
The PPPoA connection setup page is displayed. The picture below illustrates a
typical PPPoA configuration.
3. Enter a unique name for the PPPoA connection in the Name field.
The name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers.
