Mode Select Routing (default) from the drop-down list box if your ISP gives 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, select either PPPoA or RFC 1483.
If you select Routing in the Mode field, select PPPoA, RFC 1483, ENET
ENCAP or PPPoE.
User Name (PPPoA and 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.
Password (PPPoA and PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the password associated with the
user name above.
Service Name (PPPoE only) Type the name of your PPPoE service here.

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.
Select Obtain an IP Address Automatically if you have a dynamic IP
address; otherwise select Static IP Address and type your ISP assigned IP
address in the IP Address field below.

time and specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout field.
