ADSL2+ Gateway with VoIP
• Primary DNS (Required) and Secondary DNS (Optional). Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS
(Domain Name System) Server IP Address.
RFC 2516 PPPoE
Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet connections. If
you are connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they do,
you will have to enable PPPoE.
• Service Name. Enter the name of your PPPoE service in this field.
• User Name and Password. Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP.
• Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time. You can configure the Gateway to disconnect the Internet
connection after it has been inactive for a specified period of time (Max Idle Time). If your Internet
connection has been terminated due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Gateway to
automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. To use
this option, click the Connect on Demand radio button. In the Max Idle Time field, enter the number of
minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet connection terminates.
• Keep Alive: Redial Period. If you select this option, the Gateway will periodically check your Internet
connection. If you are disconnected, then the Gateway will automatically re-establish your connection. To
use this option, click the Keep Alive radio button. In the Redial Period field, specify how often you want
the Gateway to check the Internet connection. The default Redial Period is 20 seconds.
• Second PPPoE. This option can be enabled if you have a second PPPoE login provided by your ISP. The
options for the Second PPPoE login include the options listed above and the Match Domain Name option
described below.
• Match Domain Name. This option appears when Second PPPoE is enabled. Enter the domain name
provided by your ISP.
RFC 2364 PPPoA
Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoA (Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM) to establish Internet connections. If you
are connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoA. If they do, you
will have to enable PPPoA.
• User Name and Password. Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP.
