DESCRIPTION
The ZyXEL Device is in routing mode by default. This allows multiple
computers to share an Internet account. Select the method of
encapsulation (ENET ENCAP or PPPoE) used by your ISP from the
drop-down list box.
Otherwise, 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 IP filter, DHCP server and NAT on the ZyXEL Device.
(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.
(PPPoE encapsulation only) Enter the password associated with the
user name above.
(PPPoE encapsulation only) Type the name of your PPPoE service here.
(PPPoE encapsulation only) Select this to have the ZyXEL Device send
the password for authentication again if an attempt fails.
(PPPoE encapsulation only) Type a number of seconds for the ZyXEL
Device to wait before resending the password for authentication after
an attempt has failed.
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.
Enter the IP address assigned by your ISP if you select Static IP
Address.
Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation when you select ENET
ENCAP in the Mode field.
You must specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP) when
you select ENET ENCAP in the Mode field.
Select Nailed-Up Connection when you want your connection up all
the time. The ZyXEL Device will try to bring up the connection
automatically if it is disconnected.
Select Connect on Demand when you don't want the connection up
all the time and specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Time field.
Specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Time field when you select
Connect on Demand. The default setting is 0, which means the
Internet session will not timeout.
Select this check box to enable NAT on this connection.
