PPPoE/PPPoA
causes the Gateway to attempt to connect by tr ying these protocols in parallel, and
using the first one that is successful. If you choose to disable the feature, select
Off
.
❑
User Name
and
Password
: Provided by your ISP for PPP-based Protocols. Does not appear for RFC-
1483-based Protocols.
❑
Confirm Password:
Repeat your Password entr y for confirmation
❑
Static IP Address:
Your ser vice provider may tell you that the WAN IP Address for your Gateway is
static. In this case, enter the IP Address from your Ser vice Provider in the appropriate field.
❑
IP Gateway:
The IP Address of the default gateway, or peer address if using PPP. This is normally
set to 0.0.0.0 for PPP connections.
❑
Primary DNS Server:
The IP Address of the Primar y Domain Name Ser ver
❑
Secondary DNS Server:
The IP Address of the backup Domain Name Ser ver
❑
Connection Type:
If using PPPoE, this is a choice to have either an uninterrupted connection or an
as-needed connection. The type of ser vice you have signed up for with your ISP. Options are On-
Demand, Always ON, and Manual.
Always ON:
This setting provides convenience, but it leaves your network permanently connected
to the Internet.
On-Demand:
Furnishes almost all the benefits of an Always On connection, but has additional secu-
rity benefits:
Your network cannot be attacked when it is not connected.
Your network may change address with each connection, making it more difficult to attack.
Manual:
This setting disables automatic connection attempts. You must bring the connection up
and down via the Connect/Disconnect buttons.
❑
User Inactivity Timeout
: (in seconds) If you chose either Manual or On Demand as your Connection
Type, the User Inactivity Timeout setting can be used to control how long your connection will remain
active before it disconnects automatically. You can set it for up to one hour (3600 seconds). After
that period of time expires with no user activity, the connection must be reestablished.
❑
UPnP
: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) is a set of protocols that allows a PC to automatically dis-
cover other UPnP devices (anything from an internet gateway device to a light switch), retrieve an
XML description of the device and its ser vices, control the device, and subscribe to real-time event
notification. By default, UPnP is enabled on the Motorola Netopia
®
Gateway.
For Windows XP users, the automatic discover y feature places an icon representing the Motorola
Netopia
®
Gateway automatically in the “My Network Places” folder. Double-clicking this icon opens
the Gateway’s web UI.
PCs using UPnP can retrieve the Gateway’s WAN IP address, and automatically create NAT por t
maps. This means that applications that suppor t UPnP, and are used with a UPnP-enabled Motorola
Netopia
®
Gateway, will not need application layer gateway suppor t on the Motorola Netopia
®
Gate-
way to work through NAT.
You can disable UPnP, if you are not using any UPnP devices or applications.
When all of your entries are made, click the
Save Changes
button.
