If your ISP does not use a login method (username, password) for
Internet access, leave this at the default value None (Direct
connection). Otherwise, check the documentation from your ISP,
select the login method used, and enter the required data.
•
PPPoE - this is the most common login method, widely used
with DSL modems. Normally, your ISP will have provided some
software to connect and login. This software is no longer
required, and should not be used.
• PPPoE (Unnumbered IP) - this can only be used if your ISP
supports this system, and has allocated you multiple IP addresses.
If selected, you must also select Specified IP Address above and
enter one of the IP addresses allocated to you by your ISP.
•
PPTP - this is mainly used in Europe. You need to know the
PPTP Server address as well as your name and password.
•
L2TP - this is not widely used. You need to know the PPTP
Server address as well as your name and password.
•
Big Pond Cable - for Australia only.
•
SingTel RAS - for Singapore only.
The User Name (or account name) provided by your ISP.
Enter the password for the login name above.
For SingTel customers only, select the RAS plan you are on.
This is not required for PPPoE or SingTel RAS.
For PPTP, L2TP and BPA, enter the Server address as provided by
your ISP.
Select the desired option:
•
Automatic Connect/Disconnect
An Internet connection is automatically made when required, and
disconnected when idle for the time period specified by the
Auto-disconnect Idle Time-out.
•
Manual Connect/Disconnect
You must manually establish and terminate the connection.
•
Keep alive (maintain connection)
The connection will never be disconnected by this device. If
disconnected by your ISP, the connection will be re-established
immediately. (However, this does not ensure that your Internet IP
address will remain unchanged.)
This field has no effect unless using the Automatic
Connect/Disconnect setting.
If using this setting, enter the desired idle time-out period (in
minutes). After the connection to your ISP has been idle for this
time period, the connection will be terminated.
Inserts the default MAC address into the MAC address field. You
must click Save to actually change the address used.
