PPTP Local IP address: The “tunneled” IP address provided by your ISP.
PPTP Local Net mask:
the IP Network mask associated with the above address.
PPTP Remote IP address:
the IP address from your ISP
User name:
the user name of your ISP account.
Password:
the password of your ISP account.
Idle Time:
After this period of inactivity, the router will disconnect from the ISP. The de-
fault value of the idle timeout is 5 minutes. You can change the idle timeout value to
anything between 0 to 60 minutes. A value of zero means there is no idle timeout.

MAC Address: Some ISPs may identify you by a specific MAC address. A MAC ad-
dress is a physical identifier of an Ethernet port, in this case the WAN port that is con-
nected to the Cable modem. If this address is not the MAC address known to the ISP,
you can substitute this address with the MAC address of the Ethernet network card in-
stalled in your PC that was used to identify your account. If you need to do this, check
the Clone MAC Address selection to replace the router MAC address by the MAC ad-
dress of the Ethernet network card installed in your PC

Important Note:

·

If you used WinPoET/ RASPPPoE (PPPoE Dial-up

Software) or a Windows PPTP application in your
computer, you must remove or disable this software
in order to operate properly. The router replaces your
PPPoE or PPTP software when communicating with
your ISP.

If you don’t know your connection type, please contact

your Internet Service Provider.
