Connection
behavior
For PPPoE, PPTP, and L2TP, select the desired option:
•
Automatic Connect/Disconnect
A connection is automatically made when required, and discon-
nected when idle for the time period specified by the "Auto-
disconnect Idle Time-out".
•
Manual Connect/Disconnect
You must manually establish and terminate the connection.
•
Keep alive (maintain connection)
The connection will never be disconnected by this device. If
disconnected by the server, the connection will be re-established
immediately. (However, this does not ensure that your IP ad-
dress will remain unchanged.)
Auto-disconnect
Idle Time-out
This field has no effect unless using the "Automatic Con-
nect/Disconnect" setting. If Auto-disconnect is being used, enter the
desired idle time-out period (in minutes). After the connection has
been idle for this time period, the connection will be terminated.
IP Address
IP Address is

common.
Leave this selected if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the Wire-
less 11g Simple AP and Broadband Router upon connection.

Also called Static IP Address. Select this if there is no DHCP server
to provide an IP address. If this option is selected, the following data
must be entered.

The IP Address allocated by the ISP.
•
Network Mask
This is also supplied by your ISP. It must be compatible with

Note:
For "PPPoE" connections, the Network Mask and Gateway IP
address are NOT required.
DNS
Automatically
obtain from Serve
The DNS (Domain Name Server) address will be obtained automati-
cally from the server. Note that if using a fixed IP address no Server
is used, so this option cannot be used.

(Domain Name Server) you wish to use.
If using a Specified (Static) IP address, you must select this option.
