With the default setting,
Dial on Demand

automatically starts when there is outbound traffic to the Internet, and
it automatically terminates if the connection is idle based on the value
in the Idle Timeout field.
•
When the connection mode is set to
Always On
, the PPPoE
connection automatically starts when the computer boots up, but the
connection does not time out. The router will keep trying to bring up
the connection if it is disconnected for some reason.
•
If you select
Manually Connect
, you must go to the Router Status
screen and click the
Connect
button to connect to the Internet. The
manual connection does not time out, and you have to click the
Disconnect
button on the Router Status screen to disconnect it.
Idle Timeout (In Minutes)
An idle Internet connection will be terminated after this time period. If this
value is zero (0), then the router will keep the connection alive by
reconnecting immediately whenever the connection is lost.
Internet IP Address
If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed IP
address, the router finds an IP address for you automatically when you
connect. Select
Get Dynamically from ISP
.
If you have a fixed (static, permanent) IP address, your ISP has provided
you with an IP address. Select
Use Static IP Address
and type in the IP
address.
Domain Name Server
(DNS) Address
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
•
If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select
Use These
DNS Servers
and type the primary and secondary addresses.
•
Otherwise, select
Get Automatically From ISP
.
Note
: If you get “Address not found” errors when you go to a website, it is
likely that your DNS servers are not set up correctly. You should contact
your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
