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.
Keep Alive Redial period—If you select this option, the Router will periodically check your
Internet connection. If you are disconnected, then the Router will automatically re-establish
your connection. To use this option, click the option next to Keep Alive. In the Redial Period
field, you specify how often you want the Router to check the Internet connection. This option
is enabled by default and the default Redial Period is 30 seconds. Use this option to minimize
your Internet connection response time since it will always be connected.

This section is common for all the Internet Connection Types. Some of these settings may be
required by your ISP. Verify with your ISP before making any changes.
Host Name—Some ISPs, usually cable ISPs, require a host name as identification. You may
need to check with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service is configured with a host
name. In most cases you can leave this field blank.
Domain Name—Some ISPs, usually cable ISPs, require a domain name as identification. You
may need to check with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service is configured with a
domain name. In most cases you can leave this field blank.

Internet transmission. Select Manual if you want to manually enter the largest packet size that

setting for this field is 1500 (standard MTU size on Ethernet media).
