The interface to configure.
Use the drop down list to select the type of WAN connection you want to use.
Select to use either a static or dynamically assigned IP address for your connection. When selecting to utilise a static IP
address, you will also need to enter the PPTP IP Address, PPTP Subnet Mask and PPTP Default gateway in use for the
connection
(Refer to your PPTP administrator for more information)
Enter the PPTP server name or IP Address.
Enter the PPTP username supplied by your PPTP administrator.
Enter the PPTP password supplied by your PPTP administrator.
Enter an Optional name to identify the PPTP connection.
When Connection Control is set to Connect-on-demand or Manually, the Maximum Idle Time field becomes available to
allow you to specify how long the connection should be idle before it is disconnected. Enter an idle time in seconds.
This option allows you to select how the router should handle the Ethernet WAN connection. There are 3 options:
Connect-on-demand: detects when a request from a machine on the local network makes a request to a remote
network and establishes a connection upon receiving the request.
Auto-reconnect (always-on): automatically reconnects the connection when it drops so that the internet connection is
always on.
Manually: Requires that you manually press the Connect button on the Status page in order to establish a broadband
connection.
The default MTU value is 0 (auto). It is set automatically when you connect.
Select to enable or disable the MPPE security extensions for the PPTP connection.
Allows you to select the method of multicast or disable it.
Allows you to enable or disable IGMP Snooping. IGMP Snooping configures the router to listen to IGMP conversations
between hosts and routers and maintain a map of the links that need IP multicast streams.
VLAN tagging is primarily used in virtual networks which span over multiple switches. VLAN tagging involves the router
inserting a VLAN ID into a packet header in order to identify which CLAN the packet belongs to. You may enable VLAN
tagging and specify the ID with a value between 1 and 4094.
