Section 3 – Configuration
Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. The information that is to
be provided in this window must be given to you by your ISP and must be carefully configured. Any small discrepancy will send the wrong message
to your ISP's server and inhibit your connection.
There are two ways to configure the PPoE connection on the router, one is for a Dynamic PPPoE configuration, which means the router will
implement some settings automatically through DHCP, such as the router's IP address and the default gateway. The other is through a Static
PPPoE connection, in which the user must configure the IP address and the DNS addresses automatically.
PPPoE Description
User Name The user name supplied to you by your ISP.
Password The password supplied to you by your ISP.
Retype Password Retype the password entered in the Password feld.
Service Name Enter the service name supplied to you by your ISP, if required.
IP Address Enter the IP address given to you by your ISP. This field is only to be completed if the Static PPPoE button is selected.
MAC Address This field will instruct the user to enter the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Ethernet Card of your computer, if instructed
to do so by your ISP. To quickly accomplish this, click the Clone MAC address button, which will automatically copy the MAC address
of your Ethernet card and enter it into the space provided, which will replace the MAC address of the router.
Primary DNS Address This entry is for the IP address of your primary domain name server, which should also be provided to you by your ISP. The router
will first try the Primary DNS Address to resolve a website's URL IP address. If this IP address fails, the router will then try the
Secondary DNS Address. This field is only to be completed if the Static PPPoE button is selected.
Secondary DNS The IP address of the secondary domain name server will be used to resolve a website's URL IP address if the Primary DNS Address
Address fails. The information in this field should also be provided by your ISP and is only to be completed if the Static PPPoE button is
selected.
Maximum Idle Time A value of 0 means that the PPP connection will remain connected. If your network account is billed according to the amount of time
the Router is actually connected to the Internet, enter an appropriate Idle Time value (in seconds). This will disconnect the Router
after the WAN connection has been idle for the amount of time specified. The default value = 5.
MTU This field refers to the Maximum Transfer Unit, which is the maximum size of a packet, in bytes, that will be accepted by the router.
The default setting is 1492 bytes. This field should not be altered unless instructed by your ISP.
Connect Mode Select This function, with Connect-on-demand selected, will allow the router to connect any workstation on your LAN to the Internet upon
request. If this function is set at Always-on, no request from the workstation will be needed to connect to the Internet. If Manual
is selected, it will be necessary for the workstation on the LAN to manually connect to the Internet through this router.
