Use Unicasting: This option is normally turned off, and should remain off as long as the
WAN-side DHCP server correctly provides an IP address to the router. However, if the
router cannot obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, the DHCP server may be one
that works better with unicast responses. In this case, turn the unicasting option on, and
observe whether the router can obtain an IP address. In this mode, the router accepts
unicast responses from the DHCP server instead of broadcast responses.
PPPoE
Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over
Ethernet) connection. DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection
requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service
Provider) to gain access to the Internet. The supported authentication protocols are PAP
and CHAP.
Dynamic IP: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a
connection, select this option.
Static IP: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP
provides the value for the IP Address.
Service Name: Some ISP's may require that you enter a Service Name. Only enter a
Service Name if your ISP requires one.
Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The router allows
you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are:
•
Always on: A connection to the Internet is always maintained.
•
On demand: A connection to the Internet is made as needed.
•
Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click
the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the PPPoE
connection is disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On
demand" and "Manual" reconnect modes.
PPTP
PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your
ISP. This method of connection is primarily used in Europe. This method of connection
requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service
Provider) to gain access to the Internet. The supported authentication protocols are PAP
and CHAP.
Dynamic IP: If the ISP's servers assign the router's IP addressing upon establishing a
connection, select this option.
Static IP: If your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address, select this option. The ISP
provides the values for the following fields: PPTP IP Address, PPTP Subnet Mask , and
PPTP Gateway IP Address.
