The following table describes the labels in this screen.

 

Label
Description
Active
Select the check box to activate or clear the check box to deactivate this connection.
Name
Enter a unique, descriptive name of up to 13 ASCII characters for this connection.
Mode
Select Routing from the drop-down list box if your ISP allows multiple computers to share an Internet account.
If you select Bridge, the ZyXEL device will forward any packet that it does not route to this remote node; otherwise, the packets are discarded.
Encapsulation
Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP from the drop-down list box. Choices are PPPoA, RFC 1483, ENET ENCAP or PPPoE.
User Name
(PPPoA and PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the user name exactly as your ISP assigned. If assigned a name in the form user@domain where domain identifies a service name, then enter both components exactly as given.
Password
(PPPoA and PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the password associated with the user name above.
Service Name
(PPPoE only) Type the name of your PPPoE service here.
Multiplexing
Select the method of multiplexing used by your ISP from the drop-down list. Choices are VC or LLC.
By prior agreement, a protocol is assigned a specific virtual circuit, for example, VC1 will carry IP. If you select VC, specify separate VPI and VCI numbers for each protocol.
For LLC-based multiplexing or PPP encapsulation, one VC carries multiple protocols with protocol identifying information being contained in each packet header. In this case, only one set of VPI and VCI numbers need be specified for all protocols.
VPI
The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to you.
VCI
The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535 (0 to 31 is reserved for local management of ATM traffic). Enter the VCI assigned to you.
IP Address
This option is available if you select Routing in the Mode field.
A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time you connect to the Internet.
If you use the encapsulation type except RFC 1483, select Obtain an IP Address Automatically when you have a dynamic IP address; otherwise select Static IP Address and type your ISP assigned IP address in the IP Address field below.
If you use RFC 1483, enter the IP address given by your ISP in the IP Address field.
Subnet Mask
Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.
 
Gateway IP address
Specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP).
Connection
 
Nailed-Up Connection
Select Nailed-Up Connection when you want your connection up all the time. The ZyXEL device will try to bring up the connection automatically if it is disconnected.
Connect on Demand
Select Connect on Demand when you don't want the connection up all the time and specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field.
Max Idle Timeout
Specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field when you select Connect on Demand. The default setting is 0, which means the Internet session will not timeout.
NAT
SUA only is available only when you select Routing in the Mode field.
Select SUA Only if you have one public IP address and want to use NAT. Click Edit to go to the Port Forwarding screen to edit a server mapping set.
Otherwise, select None to disable NAT.
