Also called Static IP Address. Select this if your ISP has allocated
you a fixed IP Address. If this option is selected, the following data
must be entered.
•
IP Address.
The IP Address allocated by the ISP.
•
Network Mask (Not required for PPPoE)
This is also supplied by your ISP. It must be compatible with the
IP Address above.
•
Gateway IP Address (Not required for PPPoE)
The address of the router or gateway, as supplied by your ISP.
•
DNS IP Address
The DNS (Domain Name Server) IP Address provided by your
ISP. If required, additional DNS entries can be made on the
Internet Options screen.
If your ISP does not use a login method (username, password) for
Internet access, leave this at the default value "None (Direct connec-
tion)"
Otherwise, check the documentation from your ISP, select the login
method used, and enter the required data.
•
PPPoE - this is the most common login method, widely used
with DSL modems. Normally, your ISP will have provided some
software to connect and login. This software is no longer re-
quired, and should not be used.
•
PPTP - this is mainly used in Europe. You need to know the
PPTP Server address as well as your name and password.
•
Big Pond Cable - for Australia only.
•
SingTel RAS - for Singapore only.
The User Name (or account name) provided by your ISP.
Enter the password for the login name above.
For SingTel customers only, select the RAS plan you are on.
If using PPTP or Big Pond Cable, enter the IP address of your ISP's
server.
If Enabled (default), a connection will automatically be made as
required. If disabled, you need to establish the connection manually,
using the Connect button on the Connection Details screen (accessed
from the Status screen).
Enable this if you wish an idle connection to be terminated.
If enabled, enter the idle time-out period (in minutes) in the field
provided. After the connection to your ISP has been idle for this time
period, the connection will be terminated.
If not enabled, the connection will remain open until terminated
manually, or by the remote server. (Many ISPs will terminate an idle
connection.)
