Description
For PPP connections, a User Name and Password are used to identify and verify your
account to the ISP. Enter the User Name for your ADSL service account. User names and
passwords are case-sensitive, so enter this information exactly as given to you by your
ISP.
Together with the User Name, this is used to verify your account to the ISP. Enter the
Password exactly as given to you by your ISP.
This specifies the protocol (PPPoE or PPPoA) and the encapsulation method (LLC or VC-
Mux) used for your connection. The options available are
VC-Mux
.
The Maximum Transmission Unit size may be changed if you want to optimize efficiency
for uploading data through the WAN interface. The default setting (
suitable for most users. Some user may want to adjust the setting to optimize
performance for wireless traffic or when low latency is desired (such as with Internet
gaming). It is highly recommended that the user research how adjusting the MTU may
effect network traffic for better or worse.
Similar to the MTU, except this applies to Maximum Received Unit size for downloading
data. Most users will be happy with the default setting (
also be optimized for fast downloads of general bulk Internet traffic, for low latency or for
downloading to computers on the Wireless LAN. As with the MTU setting, the user should
carefully consider how changing the MRU may affect Internet downloads for all systems
on your LAN.
When this is enabled, the Router will be considered to be the primary gateway to the
Internet and WAN for systems on your network. If you are using the Router on a network
with one or more alternative gateway routers, you may prefer to disable this if you will
use another router as the primary gateway.
This feature enables the Router to allow a "dial-up" or separate bridged PPP connection to
an individual PC. In this instance the Router will serve as a bridge.
Network Address Translation may be enabled or disabled with the pull-down menu. Keep
in mind that disabling NAT allows only a single computer to be used for Internet access
through the Router. NAT is enabled and disabled for the Router on all connections (i.e.
Pvc0 – Pvc7) if your Router is set up for multiple virtual connections.
Use this to universally enable or disable the Firewall and Filter features available in the
Router. If you disable this you will not be able to configure settings in the Firewall
Configuration window or Filters window in the Advanced directory.
This is used to determine how global IP settings are handled for the WAN interface.
Typically PPPoE or PPPoA connections will use the default setting for
users will be given a specific IP address for the WAN interface. In this case you need to
change this setting to
need to type in the global IP address provided to you by your ISP. The
option is used if you want to set up a non-TCP/IP port protocol link through the WAN
interface. An IP Unnumbered interface does not have an IP address and therefore cannot
be managed via Telnet or any other TCP/IP application.
If you have selected the
address used for your WAN interface. Your ISP should provide this IP address to you.
Select the desired option: Always ON, Connection On Demand, or Manual. Most users will
want to choose the default connection setting, Always ON.
