is necessary for your ISP. In most cases, leaving these fields blank will work.
• Access Concentrator Name
- The access concentrator name should not be
configured unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP. In most cases, leaving
these fields blank will work.
• Detect Online Interval
- The router will detect Access Concentrator online at
every interval. The default value is 10. You can input the value between 0 and 120.
The value 0 means no detect.
• IP Address
- The default setting is to get an IP address dynamically from your ISP.
If your ISP does not automatically assign IP addresses to the router, please select
Use the Following IP Address
and enter the IP address provided by your ISP in
dotted-decimal notation.
• DNS Address
- The default setting is to get an IP address dynamically from your
ISP. If your ISP does not automatically assign DNS addresses to the router, please
select
Use the Following DNS Addresses
and enter the IP address in dotted-
decimal notation of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server
address is available, enter it as well.
• Connection Mode
- Select an appropriate connection mode that determines how
to connect to the internet.
• Auto
- In this mode, the internet connection reconnects automatically any it
gets disconnected.
• On Demand
- In this mode, the internet connection will be terminated
automatically after a specified inactivity period (Max Idle Time) and be re-
established when you attempt to access the internet again.
• Time-based
- In this mode, the internet connection is only established in
a specific timeframe. If this option is selected, enter the start time and end
time. Both are in HH:MM format.
• Manual
- In this mode, the internet connection is controlled manually by
clicking the
Connect/Disconnect
button. This mode also supports the
Max
Idle Time
function as
On Demand
mode. Enter a maximum time (in minutes),
the internet connection can be inactive before it is terminated into the Max
Idle Time. The default value is 15 minutes. If you want the internet connection
remains active all the time, enter 0 (zero).
Note:
Sometimes the connection cannot be terminated although you have specified the
Max Idle Time
because some applications
are visiting the internet continually in the background.
