The fields in the table are defined below. All of the values must be
provided to you by your ISP.
MAC Address: Contains the Ethernet MAC (Media Access Control)
address of the WAN interface of the router in hexadecimal. This is a
read-only field.
User Name: Specifies the ISP account’s login name.
Password: Specifies the login password for the account.
Confirm Password: Specifies the same password for confirmation.
Service Name: Specifies the Service Name.
Idle Duration: Specifies the idle time before terminating an active ISP
connection. The default is 10 minutes.
Packet Padding: Specifies how the router is to handle packets smaller
than 64 bytes. Some applications generate packets smaller than 64
bytes, the minimum packet size for a Ethernet frame. Normally, the
router will drop these small packets, which can result in the loss of
network sessions. If the router will be handing small packets, enable the
Packet Padding option. Disabling this option will cause the router to
drop frames smaller than 64 bytes.
DNS Server (Auto or Manual): Specifies the method by which the
router obtains the IP address of the DNS server. If you select Auto, the
ISP assigns the IP addresses automatically. If you select Manual, the IP
addresses of the DNS servers are obtained from the DNS Server 1 and 2
fields in the table.
DNS Server 1 and 2: The IP addresses of up to two DNS servers.
Click the Apply button when you have finished configuring the
appropriate table.
Note
Configuration changes are automatically saved into the router’s
Flash memory within 30 seconds after you click the Apply button,
but are not activated until you reboot the device.
Other
The selection Other in the Advanced Configuration window displays a
window with router and ISP parameters that are unique to a country or
territory. You may need to adjust these parameters, depending on the
location of your ISP. For further information on this selection, refer to
Appendix D.
