Setting Up and Configuring the Router
Setup Tab
Internet IP Address—The Router's IP address on the WAN port that can be reached from the
Internet. Your ISP will provide you with the IP Address you need to specify here.
Subnet Mask—The Router's Subnet Mask on the WAN port. Your ISP will provide you this
information and your IP Address.
Default Gateway—Your ISP will provide you with the Default Gateway (Router) to reach the
Internet.
Primary DNS (Required) and Secondary DNS (Optional)—Your ISP will provide you with at
least one DNS (Domain Name System) Server IP Address to resolve host name to IP address
mapping.
PPPoE
Most DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet
connections. If you are connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP to see
if they use PPPoE. If they do, you will have to enable PPPoE.
User Name and Password—Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP for
PPPoE authentication.
Connect on Demand—Max Idle Time—Configure the Router to cut 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 Router to
automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again.
If you wish to activate Connect on Demand, click the Connect on Demand option and enter
the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet connection terminates
in the Max Idle Time field. Use this option to minimize your DSL connection time if it is charged
based on time. This option is disabled by default.
