3. Select Data Link Encapsulation and press Return. The pop-up menu offers the possible data link
encapsulation methods for connection profiles used for a variety of purposes: PPP, RFC1483, ATMP, PPTP,
or IPsec. If you select any data link encapsulation method other than RFC1483, a Data Link Options menu
item is displayed; if you select RFC1483, Data Link Options is hidden.
4. If you chose any data link encapsulation method other than RFC1483, select Datalink Options and press
Return.
■ If you selected ATMP, PPTP, or IPSec, see Chapter 10, “Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).”
■ If you selected PPP, the Datalink (PPP/MP) Options screen appears.
Select Data Compression and press Return. The pop-up menu offers the choices of None, Ascend LZS, or
Standard LZS. Unless you are otherwise specifically directed, you can accept the default.
Select Send Authentication and press Return.
From the pop-up menu that appears, select the authentication method your ISP uses, if any: PAP (Password
Authentication Protocol), CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), or None.
■ PAP is the most common, and requires you to enter a User Name and Password in the next two fields.
■ CHAP requires you to enter a Host Name and Secret in the next two fields.
You can specify user name and password for both outgoing and incoming connections. The Send User
Name/Password parameters are used to specify your identity when connecting to a remote location. The
Receive User Name/Password parameters are used when the ISP router requires authentication; this is
not commonly required.
5. You can edit the Maximum Packet Size field, if you want packets limited to a lower value than 1500.
Return to the Add Connection Profile screen by pressing Escape.
