Chapter 5: Configuring the Router
• Username/Password—Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP. These fields are case-sensitive.
• Auth Server—Enter the authenticating server IP address or host name.
• Auth Domain—Type in the domain suffix server name based on your location.
For example:
NSW / ACT - nsw.bigpond.net.au
VIC / TAS / WA / SA / NT - vic.bigpond.net.au
QLD - qld.bigpond.net.au
• MTU (Bytes)—The normal MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes. Do not change
the default MTU value unless required by your ISP.
• Enable IGMP Proxy—IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used to manage multicasting on TCP/IP networks. Some
ISPs use IGMP to perform remote configuration for client devices, such as the modem router. The default value is enabled, and
if you are not sure, contact your ISP or just leave it.
• Connection Mode—choose the Internet connection mode.
- Always on—In this mode, the Internet connection will be active all the time.
- Connect on Demand—In this mode, the Internet connection can be terminated automatically after a specified inactivity period
(Max Idle Time) and be re-established when you attempt to access the Internet again. Enter the number of minutes you want to
elapse before your Internet access disconnects.
- Connect Manually—You can click the Connect/Disconnect button to connect/disconnect immediately. This mode also supports
the Max Idle Time function as Connect on Demand mode. The Internet connection can be disconnected automatically after a
specified inactivity period and re-established when you attempt to access the Internet again.
Click the Connect button to connect immediately. Click the Disconnect button to disconnect immediately.
CAUTION: Sometimes the connection cannot be terminated even though you specify a Max Idle Time, because some applications
are visiting the Internet continually in the background.
Click the Save button to save your settings.
