Connecting the Gateway to the Internet 3-19
Manual Configuration
You can manually configure the gateway in the Basic Settings menu shown in Figure 3-15 using
these steps:
1.
If your ISP ADSL service requires setting the Multiplexing Method and VPI/VCI parameters,
click on the ADSL Settings link from the main menu, fill in the settings your ISP provided,
and click Apply. Usually the default settings will work fine and you can skip this step.
2.
Click the Basic Settings link on the Setup menu.
• If your Internet connection does require login . Select Yes and fill in the settings
according to the instructions below.
Note : You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your PC in order to
access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your gateway automatically
logs you in.
— Choose the encapsulation method your ISP uses.
– For PPPoE
Select “Get Dynamically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP
address. Your ISP will automatically assign this address.
Select “Use Static IP Address” if your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed
(static) IP address. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned.
Enter the login name (frequently the email address your ISP provided), password,
and service name (if required).
If you wish to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This
determines how long the gateway keeps the Internet connection active after there
is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of zero
means never log out.
