MTU: MTU means Maximum Transmission Unit, the largest physical packet size, measured in
bytes, that a network can transmit. The default value is 1454. Please set up the MTU according to
your system environment. Only enter a new MTU when your ISP requires, otherwise, please leave it
as the default setting. When using PPPoE connection, you may need to change MTU settings to
maintain the connection with your ISP, however, if the incorrect value was entered, you may be
unable to access certain websites. Reducing the packet size can help connecting to certain websites
or speeding up the transmission rate.

period of time and set the Silent Timeout in the next field. Silent Timeout means a period of idle time
before you go offline. Enter a maximum period of time (minute) to define the maximum idle time. If the
silent time is above the defined maximum idle time, it will go offline immediately. You can set the val-
ue to be 0 or Auto Reconnect to disable this function. If you check the check box of Dial-On-Demand,
MZK-W04NU will dial automatically whenever there’s Internet movement (ex. Opening an IE).
•
Auto Reconnect/Connect/Disconnect: If you choose Auto Reconnect, MZK-W04NU Wireless

stopped. To enable “Auto Reconnect” you must set “Silent Timeout” to be 0 or leave the field blank;
otherwise there might be a warning message. Click “Connect” to manually make a connection or click
“Disconnect” to disconnect the connection.
