3.2.6 DNS

A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If
you type a Web address into your browser, such as www.router.com, a DNS server will find that
name in its index and the matching IP address. (See chapter 2 "DNS" for more detail)
Your ISP may require a particular MAC address in order for
you to connect to the Internet. This MAC address is the PC's
MAC address that your ISP had originally connected your
Internet connection to. Type in this MAC address in this
section or use the "Clone MAC Address" button to replace
the WAN MAC address with the MAC address of that PC.
The ISP gives you a static IP to be used to connect to the
PPTP server. You must type in the related IP address such as
IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.
Enter the L2TP Account provided by your ISP for the L2TP
connection.
Enter the Password provided by your ISP for the L2TP
connection.
Re-enter the Password for confirmation.
If your LAN has a L2TP gateway, then enter that L2TP
gateway IP address or domain name here. If you do not have
a L2TP gateway then enter the ISP's Gateway IP address
above or domain name.
You can specify an idle time threshold (seconds) for the WAN
port. This means if no packets have been sent (no one using
the Internet) during this specified period, the router will
automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP.
Select the desired option:
Keep-alive (maintain connection)
The connection will never be disconnected by this device. If
disconnected by your ISP, the connection will be re-
established immediately. (However, this does not ensure that
your Internet IP address will remain unchanged.)
Auto-Connect
An Internet connection is automatically made when required,
and disconnected when idle for the time period specified by
the "Maximum Idle Time (60~3600)".
Manual-on
You must manually establish and terminate the connection.
