Description
Select the encapsulation, as indicated by your ISP:
• PPPoE. Your Internet connection uses PPP over Ethernet.
• PPPoA. Your Internet connection uses PPP over ATM.
Enter the login name that you use to log in to your Internet service, as
indicated by your ISP.
This login name is often an email address.
Enter the password that you use to log in to your Internet service, as
indicated by your ISP.
Enter the service name that you use to log in to your Internet service, as
indicated by your ISP.
Often, a service name is not required.
Note: This field does not display if your selection from the Encapsulation
menu is PPPoA.
Select how the Internet connection functions:
• Always On. Once the Internet connection is established, it remains on.
This is the default setting.
• Dial on Demand. When someone attempts to connect to the Internet,
the Internet connection is established. When the idle time-out period
expires, the Internet connection is terminated.
• Manually Connect. You must connect to the Internet manually (see
View, Renew, or Release a TCP/IP Internet Connection
View, Connect, or Disconnect a PPPoE or PPPoA Internet Connection
on page 237).
If you select Dial on Demand from the Connection Mode menu, enter the
idle time-out period in minutes.
The idle time-out specifies how long the modem router keeps the Internet
connection active when no one on the network is using the Internet
connection. The default is 5 minutes. To disable the idle time-out, enter 0.
(When you disable the idle time-out, the connection is not terminated
automatically).
Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP automatically
assigns these addresses.
Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway IP address that your
ISP assigned you for static IP address service. The gateway is the ISP
router to which your modem router connects.
Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP automatically
assigns this address.
