L2TP Gateway

If your LAN has a L2TP gateway, then enter that L2TP gateway
IP address here. If you do not have a L2TP gateway then enter
the ISP’s Gateway IP address above.


MTU

This is optional. You can specify the maximum size of your
transmission packet to the Internet. Leave it as it is if you do not
wish to set a maximum packet size.


Connection Type

If you select “Continuous”, the router will always connect to the
ISP. If the WAN line breaks down and links again, the router will
auto reconnect to the ISP.

If you select “Connect on Demand”, the router will auto-connect
to the ISP when someone wants to use the Internet and keep
connected until the WAN idle timeout. The router will close the
WAN connection if the time period that no one is using the
Internet exceeds the “Idle Time”.

If you select “Manual”, the router will connect to ISP only when
you click “Connect” manually from the Web user interface. The
WAN connection will not disconnect due to the idle timeout. If the
WAN line breaks down and latter links again, the router will not
auto-connect to the ISP.


Idle Time Out

You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the WAN
port. This means if no packets have been sent (no one using the
Internet) throughout this specified period, then the router will
automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP.


Click <OK> when you have finished the configuration above. Congratulations! You have
completed the configuration for the L2TP connection. You can start using the router now, if you
wish to use some of the advance features supported by this router see chapter 3, 4, 5.
