Click <OK> when you have finished the configuration above. Congratulations! You have
completed the configuration for the PPTP connection. You can start using the router now, if you
wish to use some of the advanced features supported by this router see chapter 2, 3, 4.
Enter the IP address of the ISP Gateway.
Enter the User Name provided by your ISP for the PPTP
connection, sometimes called a Connection ID.
Enter the Password provided by your ISP for the PPTP
connection.
If your LAN has a PPTP gateway, enter that PPTP gateway IP
address here. If you do not have a PPTP gateway enter the
ISP's Gateway IP address above.
This is the ID given by ISP. This is optional.
If you select "Continuous", the router will always connect to the
ISP. If the WAN line breaks down and links again, the router will
auto-reconnect to the ISP.
If you select "Connect On Demand", the router will auto-connect
to the ISP when someone wants to use the Internet and keep
connected until the WAN idle timeout. The router will close the
WAN connection if the time period that no one is using the
Internet exceeds the "Idle Time".
If you select "Manual", the router will connect to ISP only when
you click "Connect" manually from the Web user interface. The
WAN connection will not be disconnected due to the idle timeout.
If the WAN line breaks down and later links again, the router will
not auto-connect to the ISP.
You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the WAN
port. This means if no packets have been sent (no one using the
Internet) throughout this specified period, then the router will
automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP.
Note: This "idle timeout" function may not work due to abnormal
activities of some network application software, computer virus
or hacker attacks from the Internet. For example, some software
sends network packets to the Internet in the background, even if
you are not using the Internet. So please turn off your computer
when you are not using it. This function also may not work with
some ISP. So please make sure this function can work properly
when you use this function at the first time, especially if your ISP
charges you by the time used.
