DESCRIPTION
(PPPoE encapsulation only) Type the name of your PPPoE service here.
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 option to enable symmetric NAT on this connection.
This field is available only when you select Active NAT.
