PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)
These options can be selected from the drop-down menu next to Internet Connection. The information
required and available features will differ depending on what kind of connection type you select.
Descriptions of these options:
Internet IP Address and Subnet Mask (Static IP or PPTP)
This is the Router's IP Address and Subnet Mask as seen by external users on the
Internet (including your ISP). If your Internet connection requires a static IP address,
then your ISP will provide you with a Static IP Address and Subnet Mask.
• Default Gateway (Static IP or PPTP)
Your ISP will provide you with the Gateway IP Address.
• DNS (Domain Name Server or PPTP) IP Address
Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS IP Address.
• User Name and Password (PPPoE ir PPTP)
Enter the User Name and Password you use when logging onto your ISP through a
PPPoE or PPTP connection.
• Connect on Demand
You can configure the Router to disconnect your Internet connection after a specified
period of inactivity (Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has been terminated due
to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish your
connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. If you wish to activate
Connect on Demand, click the radio button.
If you want your Internet connection to remain active at all times, enter 0 in the AP
Router 802.11g AP Router max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number of minutes
you want to have elapsed before your Internet connection terminates.
• Keep Alive Option
This option keeps you connected to the Internet indefinitely, even when your connection
sits idle. To use this option, click the radio button next to Keep Alive. The default Redial
Period is 30 seconds (in other words, the Router will check the Internet connection every
30 seconds).
