What's MX (Mail Exchanger)? And why MX?

The Internet email system for both machines and network connections are prone to
error. With this, a chain of email hubs into the email architecture is thus built. If the
"primary" mail host goes down, instead of queuing up the mails in the unreliable host on
the Internet, they get sent to the "secondary" or "backup" mail exchanger for delivery,
until the primary mail server becomes functional again. In technical term, such service is
called Backup Mail Exchanger.

What is PPPoE (PPP Over Ethernet)?

PPPoE is known as a dial-up DSL service. It is designed to integrate the broadband
services into the current widely deployed, easy-to-use, and low-cost dial-up-access
networking infrastructure. Thus, customer can get greater access speed without changing
the operation concept.

How can I know I am using PPPoE?

PPPoE client software is provided by our ISP and should be installed onto your
computer first. You run the program to connect/disconnect to the Internet. User Account
information (User Name and Password) is also required each time you connect to the
Internet access.
Note: After you have entered the PPPoE information during the device setup, and
starting up the device, the device will provide your Internet Service the PPPoE
information and login automatically. It is not necessary to install and run the PPPoE
software on the computers and you can just uninstall the PPPoE software from your
computers.

IP address conflict

When you see the message box prompted for IP address conflict on any of the
workstations in the network, this means two or more workstations have the same IP
address. If you have setup the device as a DHCP server, on the problem workstation,
please run the "winipcfg" (see previous question) utility, select the correct Network
Adapter, click "release all" to release all current configuration first, then click "renew
all" to renew the IP information again (for Windows 2000/NT40/XP, run IPCONFIG
/release and then run IPCONFIG /renew). If the DHCP function is disabled and static
IP addresses are assigned to each workstation, please double check each workstation's
IP address for any duplicate IP.
