PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a common connection method used for xDSL
connections in Europe. It can be used to join different physical networks using the Internet
as an intermediary.
If you have been provided with the information as shown on the screen, enter the assigned IP
address, subnet mask, default gateway IP address, user ID and password, and PPTP
Gateway. Configure the Connect mode option to the desired settings. "Always On Line"
signifies that the broadband router will maintain your Internet connection consistently and
automatically connect to the Internet after any disconnection. "Manual Connect" signifies
that the broadband router will establish an Internet connection only when the administrator
logs into the web management and manually presses the "Connect" button. While using the
"Connect On Demand" option, if the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle
Time, it will be dropped and will automatically re-establish the connection as soon as you
attempt to access the Internet again.
Static IP
Some Internet Service Providers may assign a fixed (static) IP address. If you have been
provided with this information, choose this option and enter the assigned IP address,
gateway IP address, DNS IP addresses, and subnet mask.
