Table 19 Network > WAN > Internet Access Setup
LABEL DESCRIPTION
WAN Mode When you set the DSL/WAN switch (on the back of the ZyXEL
Device) to the DSL side, this shows ADSL WAN. The WAN port will
be disabled automatically.
When you set the DSL/WAN switch (on the back of the ZyXEL
Device) to the WAN side, this shows Ethernet WAN. The DSL port
will be disabled automatically. This allows the ZyXEL Device to work as
an Ethernet gateway, instead of a DSL router. To access the Internet,
connect the WAN port to a broadband modem or router.
General
Mode This field is not available if you set the WAN mode to Ethernet WAN.
Select Routing (default) from the drop-down list box if your ISP give
you one IP address only and you want multiple computers to share an
Internet account. Select Bridge when your ISP provides you more
than one IP address and you want the connected computers to get
individual IP address from ISP’s DHCP server directly. If you select
Bridge, you cannot use Firewall, DHCP server and NAT on the ZyXEL
Device.
Encapsulation Select the method of encapsulation used by your ISP from the drop-
down list box. Choices vary depending on the mode you select in the
Mode field.
If you select Bridge in the Mode field, the ZyXEL Device uses RFC
1483.
If you select Routing in the Mode field, select DHCP (ENET ENCAP)
or PPPoE.
User Name (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.

user name above.
Service Name (PPPoE only) Type the name of your PPPoE service here.

down list. Choices are VC or LLC.
