The following table describes the fields in this screen. 

The following section contains additional technical information about the Device features described 
in this chapter.

Be sure to use the encapsulation method required by your ISP. The Device can work in bridge mode 
or routing mode. When the Device is in routing mode, it supports the following methods.

IP over Ethernet (IPoE) is an alternative to PPPoE. IP packets are being delivered across an 
Ethernet network, without using PPP encapsulation. They are routed between the Ethernet interface 
and the WAN interface and then formatted so that they can be understood in a bridged 
environment. For instance, it encapsulates routed Ethernet frames into bridged Ethernet cells. 

PPPoA stands for Point to Point Protocol over ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5). A PPPoA connection 
functions like a dial-up Internet connection. The Device encapsulates the PPP session based on 
RFC1483 and sends it through an ATM PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) to the Internet Service 
Provider’s (ISP) DSLAM (digital access multiplexer). Please refer to RFC 2364 for more information 
on PPPoA. Refer to RFC 1661 for more information on PPP.
