802.11a/g Router User’s Guide
• Service Name: the service name of your ISP account
• Connection Type: There are 3 options for this option.
Always on
: the connection is always on no matter there is traffic or not. If the connection
is lost (e.g. the PPPoE server is down or the ADSL/Cable line is disconnected), the
connection will be brought up right after the connection is recovered.
Demand Dialing
: the connection will be brought up only when there is traffic. That is, it
requires an outgoing packet to trigger the connection.
Manually: the connection will not be brought up until you manually connect it at the
WAN Status page (described in How To View The Device Status section).
• MTU/MRU: This is to set the values of MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) and MRU
(Maximum Receive Unit) that is used between the 802.11 a/g Router and the ISP device
at the other side. Users are not encouraged to change these values unless you know what
you are doing.
• Session Type: There are 3 options for this setting.
Normal
: This option only supports one PPPoE session.
Unnumbered Link
: This option can let your LAN be a public IP subnet. That is, PC’s on
the LAN can be configured with public IP addresses provided by your ISP. You can put
your own servers on the LAN, and then people on the Internet can access these servers.
The source IP address of the traffic from these PC’s to the Internet is not modified (i.e.
NAT is not applied) either. If you still want to keep a private LAN, you can check the
Maintain Private LAN setting and enter the IP Address and IP Subnet Mask of your
private LAN. If you do not keep a private LAN, the “Device IP Settings” menu at the left
side will disappear.
Multiple PPPoE: You can define more than one PPPoE sessions by using this option.
The primary session is configured at the ISP Settings page, and other sessions are
configured at the Multiple PPPoE page.
3. You use DHCP to connect to the Internet (most likely through a cable modem connection).
In this case, your ISP may require you to configure the Host Computer Name:
• Host Name: The Host Name provided by your ISP.
4. You use PPTP to connect to the Internet. In this case, your ISP requires you to configure
PPTP's tunnel IP address, the username, and password. In this case, configure the static IP
address as in the above and then configure the following information:
• PPTP Local IP Address: the IP address on the local side of the PPTP tunnel provided
by your ISP.
• PPTP IP Netmask: the Netmask on the local side of the PPTP tunnel provided by your
ISP.
• PPTP Remote IP Address: the IP address of the remote side of the PPTP tunnel
provided by your ISP.
• User Name: the username of your ISP account.
• Password: the password of your ISP account.
