Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual"
reconnect modes.
L2TP: L2TP (Layer Two Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP.
This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet
Service Provider) to gain access to the Internet.
L2TP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be the same
as the Gateway IP Address.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to set the
reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button
manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual"
reconnect modes.
WAN Interface IP Type
Static: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides the values for
the following fields for WAN Interface IP Setting: IP Address, Subnet Mask , Default Gateway.
Dynamic: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection, select
this option.
PPTP: PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP.
This method of connection is primarily used in Europe. This method of connection requires you to
enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the
Internet.
PPTP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be the same
as the Gateway IP Address.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows you to set the
reconnection mode. The settings are:
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button
manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE connection is
disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" and "Manual"
reconnect modes.
WAN Interface IP Type
Static: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP provides the values for
the following fields for WAN Interface IP Setting: IP Address, Subnet Mask , Default Gateway, and
optional for DNS Server
Dynamic: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a connection, select
this option.
Russia PPTP: The Russia PPTP can configure IP address on the WAN interface and establish PPTP
to get IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and DNS for ANOTHER logical IP interface on WAN
port. So the physical WAN port will have 2 logical IP interfaces and can communicate with internal
ISP's network resources and also communicate with Internet through PPTP tunnel. It is specified by
Russia Cobrina ISP, user can configure it the same as the normal PPTP and PPTP server IP Address
can use the domain name string.
WAN MTU Setting: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the
largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets,
the router will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the
connection to your ISP. Typical values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a
PPPoE connection. If the router's MTU is set too high, packets will be fragmented downstream. If the
