• Disable. NAT is disabled.
Description
Select how the Internet connection functions:
• Always On. Once the Internet connection is established, it remains active. This
is the default setting.
• Dial on Demand. When someone attempts to connect to the Internet, the
Internet connection is established. When the idle time-out period expires, the
Internet connection is terminated.
• Manually Connect. You must connect to the Internet manually (see

If you select Dial on Demand from the Connection Mode menu, enter the idle
time-out period in minutes.
The idle time-out specifies how long the modem router keeps the Internet connection
active when no one on the network is using the Internet connection. The default is
5 minutes. To disable the idle time-out, enter 0. (When you disable the idle time-out,
the connection is not terminated automatically).
Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP automatically assigns
these addresses.
Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway IP address that your ISP
assigned you for static IP address service. The gateway is the ISP router to which
your modem router connects.
Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP automatically assigns
this address.
If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the
modem router during login, select this option and enter the IP address of your ISP
primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also.
