You will have to explain that. The RAX40 is not a modem. As a router it needs something between itself and the Internet to work.
This will usually be a cable modem, sometimes a DSL modem, or increasingly an Optical Network Terminator (ONT). (Let's not worry about exotic satellite systems at this stage.)
Anything else is likely to come out of a "hole in the wall" that has a router at the other end. If that is what you have, then your configuration will have to reflect that.
The PPPoE bit is something that you feed into the router to get the connection through the modem.
