User Guide

Use the following IP address The ISP gives you a static IP to be used to connect to the
L2TP server.
IP Address This is the IP address that your ISP has given you to
establish a L2TP connection.
Subnet Mask Enter the Subnet Mask provided by your ISP
(e.g. 255.255.255.0).
Gateway Enter the IP address of the ISP Gateway.
User ID Enter the User Name provided by your ISP for the PPTP
connection, sometimes called a Connection ID.
Password Enter the Password provided by your ISP for the PPTP
connection.
L2TP Gateway If your LAN has a L2TP gateway, enter that L2TP gateway IP
address here. If you do not have a L2TP gateway then enter the
ISP’s Gateway IP address above.
Connection Type If you select “Continuous”, the router will always connect to the
ISP. If the WAN line breaks down and links again, the router will
auto-reconnect to the ISP.
If you select “Connect On Demand”, the router will auto-connect
to the ISP when someone wants to use the Internet and keep
connected until the WAN idle timeout. The router will close the
WAN connection if the time period that no one is using the
Internet exceeds the “Idle Time”.
If you select “Manual”, the router will connect to ISP only when
you click “Connect” manually from the Web user interface. The
WAN connection will not be disconnected due to the idle timeout.
If the WAN line breaks down and later links again, the router will
not auto-connect to the ISP.
Idle Time Out You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the WAN
port. This means if no packets have been sent (no one using the
Internet) throughout this specified period, the router will
automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP.
Note: This “idle timeout” function may not work due to abnormal
activities of some network application software, computer virus
or hacker attacks from the Internet. For example, some software
sends network packets to the Internet in the background, even if
you are not using the Internet. So please turn off your computer
when you are not using it. This function also may not work with
some ISP. So please make sure this function can work properly
when you use this function at the first time, especially if your ISP
charges you by the time used.
Click <OK> when you finish the configuration above. Congratulations! You have completed the
configuration for the L2TPP connection. You can start using the router now, if you wish to use
some of the advanced features supported by this router see chapter 2, 3, 4.
