Data - Ethernet Port
Connection Type
Connection Type
The available options are:
• Travel Mode (Hotel) - This is the default. No data needs to be
input. This setting will work in many situations, not just hotels.
• PPPoE - this is the most common login method for DSL mo-
dems. Normally, your ISP will have provided some software to
connect and login. If using the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion, this
software is not required, and should not be used.
• PPTP - this is mainly used in Europe. You need to know the
PPTP Server address as well as your name and password.
• L2TP - this is not widely used. You need to know the PPTP
Server address as well as your name and password.
• No Login (Static IP address) - Use this if you have a static
(fixed) IP address, and do not need to login to a server to gain
access to the LAN or WAN.
Login User Name
The User Name (or account name) provided by your ISP.
Login Password
Enter the password for the login name above.
Server Address
For PPTP or L2TP, enter the Server address.
For other connection methods, this address should be ignored.
Connection
Behavior
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 the
Ethernet (WAN) Port IP address will remain unchanged.)
Auto-disconnect
Idle Time-out
This field has no effect unless using the Automatic Con-
nect/Disconnect setting.
If using this setting, 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
assigned
automatically
Also called Dynamic IP Address. This is the default, and the most
common.
Only change this if advised to do so by the person or organization
providing the LAN/WAN port connection.
