Login Name:
Enter your ISP Username.

Password:
Enter your ISP Password.
•
Connect-on-demand:
Only enable this option if your ISP charges by the megabyte or by minutes (seconds) of line usage. Enabling this option will cause the
router to connect to the ADSL line when there is a packet waiting to be transmitted. Set the
Max Idle Time
with the length of time the router will remain in an
idle state before reconnecting to collect incoming data.
•
Keep Alive:
This function keeps your PPPoE connection always active even when there is no data to transmit. However, in some situations, the PPPoE session
cannot be built immediately after disconnection because the system on the ISP site may need a little time to restore. You may need to check with your ISP to find
out how much time is required before the router can start to re-build the PPPoE session and then fill this in the “
Redial Period
”.
•
Manual Connect/Disconnect
: Allows the user to manual connect or disconnect the ADSL connection from the keyboard.

P Address:

Dynamic

Static
IP address
issued by your ISP. If this is the case, select Fixed, and enter the IP address.

Figure 8. Gateway using Dynamic IP
This connection type is the default setting of this router. Leave this setting on the column according to the following conditions:
1. You want to employ NAT. NAT allows you to use single IP address as the external one to share internet access from all of your PCs, as well as protect them from
outside intruders.
2. Your ISP uses LLC Encapsulation and uses DHCP to assign an IP address when you connect to your ISP LLC encapsulation allows multiplexing of multiple protocols over a
single ATM virtual connection (VC). You can find more information on RFC 2684.
