Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway
IPoA
If you are required to use Internet Protocol over Asynchronous Transfer Mode, select IPoA. The related
settings are the same as for RFC 1483 Routed (see above).
RFC 2516 PPPoE
Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet connections.
Check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they do, you will have to enable PPPoE.
• Service Name. If a service name is required, enter the name of your PPPoE service in this field.
• User Name and Password. Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP.
• Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time. You can configure the Gateway to disconnect the Internet connection
after it has been inactive for a specified period of time (Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has
been terminated due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Gateway to automatically re-establish
your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. To use this option, click the Connect
on Demand radio button. In the Max Idle Time field, enter the number of minutes you want to have
elapsed before your Internet connection terminates.
• Keep Alive: Redial Period. If you select this option, the Gateway will periodically check your Internet
connection. If you are disconnected, then the Gateway will automatically re-establish your connection. To
use this option, click the Keep Alive radio button. In the Redial Period field, specify how often you want
the Gateway to check the Internet connection. The default Redial Period is 20 seconds.
• Second PPPoE. If your DSL account allows multiple simultaneous PPPoE streams, enable this option and
enter the required information.
