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. 
Refer to the appendices to calculate a subnet mask If you are implementing 

subnetting.

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 and Full Feature are available only when you select Routing in the 

Mode field.
Select SUA Only if you have one public IP address, Full Feature if you have 

multiple public IP addresses (for address translation) or None to disable NAT.
When selecting Full Feature, configure address mapping sets in the Address 

Mapping screen. Select one of the NAT server sets (2-10) in the Port
