PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a common connection method used for xDSL connections in
Europe. It can be used to join different physical networks using the Internet as an intermediary.
If you have been provided with the information as shown on the screen, enter the assigned IP

Configure the Connect mode option to the desired settings. “Always On Line” signifies that the
broadband router will maintain your Internet connection consistently and automatically connect
to the Internet after any disconnection. “Manual Connect” signifies that the broadband router will
establish an Internet connection only when the administrator logs into the web management and
manually presses the “Connect” button. While using the “Connect On Demand” option, if the
connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped and will
automatically re-establish the connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again.
Static IP
Some Internet Service Providers may assign a fixed (static) IP address. If you have been
provided with this information, choose this option and enter the assigned IP address, gateway IP
address, DNS IP addresses, and subnet mask.
