IP Address
from ISP

Select the appropriate option:

Dynamic This is the default, and the most common. Leave this selected

if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the Wireless Gateway upon con-
nection.

Fixed IP Address Select this if your ISP has allocated you a fixed IP

Address, then enter the IP Address in the fields provided.

DNS IP
Address

The DNS (Domain Name Server) translates names (e.g. microsoft.com) to IP
Addresses.

Enter the DNS IP address supplied or recommended by your ISP.

If desired, additional DNS entries can be made on the Options screen.

Telephone

If using a Leased Line (permanent connection), ignore these fields.

Otherwise, enter the telephone numbers to dial to connect to your ISP
(Internet Service Provider). The first number is required; the others are
optional.

Enter the telephone numbers using the format described in your modem’s
user manual.

Dial-In

Enable
Dial-in

If checked, this port is available for dial-in access. Otherwise, any attempt to
dial-in will be blocked.

If Internet Access is also enabled, Dial-in users may find it difficult to
connect because the telephone line is in use. Reducing the Disconnect after
Idle Time
setting for Internet Access to 1 minute may help.

See Dial -in Users later in this Chapter for details of creating and man-

aging dial-in users.

See the Dial-in section in Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on

setting up the remote PC to use the Wireless Gateway's Dial-in facility.

Disconnect
after Idle
Time

If checked, a Dial-in connection will be terminated after the specified time-
out period. The allowable range is 1-99 minutes.

If preferred, the connection time limit may be set individually for each user.

Dial-in
PPP Link

Select the desired security option for log-in:

PAP has widespread support; almost all communications systems

support it.

CHAP is more secure than PAP; the password is encrypted before

transmission. If it is selected, the dial-in clients must also support CHAP
in order to connect.

MS CHAP is the Microsoft version of CHAP, used on Windows

platforms. If all dial-in clients are using Windows 95 or later, you can
choose this option.

None means no login authentication is performed.

Warning! If you choose "None", anyone can connect; this is a major
security risk.
