may need to change MTU settings to maintain the connection with your
ISP, however, if the incorrect value was entered, you may be unable to
access certain websites. Reducing the packet size can help connecting to
certain websites or speeding up the transmission rate.
IP Address Please enter the IP address provided by your ISP.
Network Mask Please enter the subnet mask address provided by the
ISP.
NAPT for LAN hosts Put a check in the check box to enable NAPT
function, and the LAN side can use the same IP address to connect to the
Internet.
Dial-On-Demand/Silent Timeout You may disconnect the connection
when there is no activity for a period of time and set the Silent Timeout
in the next field. Silent Timeout means a period of idle time before you
go offline. Enter a maximum period of time (seconds) to define the
maximum idle time. If the silent time is above the defined maximum idle
time, it will go offline immediately. You can set the value to be 0 or Auto
Reconnect to disable this function.
Auto Reconnect/Dial Status If you choose Auto Reconnect, BLW-
HPMM-U Wireless Router will automatically reconnect to your ISP
when you restart the system or the connection is stopped. To enable
Auto Reconnect you must set Silent Timeout to be 0 or leave the
field blank; otherwise there might be a warning message.
Auth Type BLW-HPMM-U supports WPA encryption. You may
choose PAP or CHAP authentication to enhance the security of data
transmission.
PAP –Short for Password Authentication Protocol, the most
basic form of authentication, in which a user's name and password are
transmitted over a network and compared to a table of name-password
pairs. Typically, the passwords stored in the table are encrypted. The
Basic Authentication feature built into the HTTP protocol uses PAP.
The main weakness of PAP is that both the username and password
are transmitted "in the clear" -- that is, in an unencrypted form.
