Encapsulation

The PPP over Ethernet choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The 

ZyXEL Device supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is 

an IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) 

interacts with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. 

Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier, 

as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer 

site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the router rather than individual 

computers, the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since 

the router does that part of the task. Further, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers 

will have access.

Service Name

Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to 

identify and reach the PPPoE server.

User Name

Type the user name given to you by your ISP.

Password

Type the password associated with the user name above.
