A private interface connects to your LAN, such
as the Ethernet interface. Packets received on a
private interface are subject to a less restrictive
set of protections, because they originate within
the network.

The term DMZ (de-militarized zone), in Internet
networking terms, refers to computers that are
available for both public and in-network accesses
(such as a company’s public Web server).
Packets incoming on a DMZ interface – whether
from a LAN or external source – are subject to a
set of protections that is in between public and
private interfaces in terms of restrictiveness.

Status:

Start – To establish a connection whenever you
turn on the HM210dp/di.
StartOnData – To establish a connection
whenever the device gets a request to connect to
the Internet, such as when you open a browser
requesting for web pages.

Protocol:

PPPoA or PPPoE as required by your ISP.

Service Name:

ISPs may offer different types of services (for
example, for online gaming or business
communications), each requiring a different login
and other connection properties.
For PPPoA no need to set up.
For PPPoE enter the Service Name if this is
required by your ISP. Otherwise leave it blank.

Use DHCP:

When set to Enable, the device will acquire
additional IP information from the ISP’s DHCP
server. The PPP connection itself acquires the
device’s IP address, mask, DNS address, and
default gateway address. When enabled, the
device will acquire IP addresses for various other
server types (WINS, SMTP, POP3, etc).

Use DNS:

When set to Enable, the DNS address learned
through the PPP connection will be distributed to
clients of the device’s DHCP server. This option
is useful only when the HM210dp/di is configured
to act as a DHCP server for your LAN.

Default Route:

Indicates whether the HM210dp/di should use
the IP address assigned to this connection as its
default route.
