Dynamic IP/ Static IP - Choose either as you are given by your ISP and enter the ISP's IP
address or the domain name.
If you choose static IP and enter the domain name, you should also enter the DNS
assigned by your ISP. And click the Save button.
Click the Connect button to connect immediately. Click the Disconnect button to
disconnect immediately.
Connect on Demand - You can configure the Router to disconnect from your Internet
connection after a specified period of inactivity (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 radio button. If you want your
Internet connection to remain active at all times, enter 0 in the Max Idle Time field.
Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet
connection terminates.
Connect Automatically - Connect automatically after the Router is disconnected. To use
this option, click the radio button.
Connect Manually - You can configure the Router to make it connect or disconnect
manually. After a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time), the Router will disconnect
from your Internet connection, and you will not be able to re-establish your connection
automatically as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. To use this option, click
the radio button. If you want your Internet connection to remain active at all times, enter "0"
in the Max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number in minutes that you wish to have
the Internet connecting last unless a new link is requested.
Caution: Sometimes the connection cannot be disconnected although you specify a time to
Max Idle Time, since some applications are visiting the Internet continually in the
background.
Note:
If you don't know how to choose the appropriate connection type, click the Detect button to
allow the Router to automatically search your Internet connection for servers and protocols. The
connection type will be reported when an active Internet service is successfully detected by the
Router. This report is for your reference only. To make sure the connection type your ISP
provides, please refer to the ISP. The various types of Internet connections that the Router can
detect are as follows:
PPPoE - Connections which use PPPoE that requires a user name and password.
Dynamic IP - Connections which use dynamic IP address assignment.
Static IP - Connections which use static IP address assignment.
