CHAPTER 7
Internet Setup
7.1 Overview
This chapter describes how to configure Wide Area Network (WAN) settings from the
Internet screens. Use these screens to configure your ZyXEL Device for Internet access.
A WAN connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It connects
your private networks (such as a Local Area Network (LAN) and other networks, so that a
computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.

7.1.1 What You Can Do in the Internet Screens
• Use the Internet screen (Section 7.2 on page 55) to configure the WAN settings on the
ZyXEL Device for Internet access.
• Use the PVCs Summary screen (Section 7.2.5 on page 62) to display a summary table for
PVC settings.
7.1.2 What You Need to Know About ADSL Internet Access
Encapsulation Method
Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol.
To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method
used by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If your ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection
using PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or PPPoA, they should also provide a username and
password (and service name) for user authentication.
