PPPoE Configuration
Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to
establish Internet connections. If you are connected to the Internet through a
DSL line, check with your ISP if they use PPPoE.
Host Name/Domain Name. Some ISPs require the host name and domain
name as identification, if it is not specified, assign on your own or leave it as
blank.
User Name, Password, Confirm Password. Enter your username, password
and confirm again in the fields for the login to the ISP.
Service Name. Enter the ISP specified service name or assign on your own if
the Service Name is not specified.
Packet Size (MTU). The Maximum Transmission Unit of an IP packet. The
default value is 1492 Bytes, if your ISP requires a special value, please select
from the pull down menu. The default value will work for most cases.
Otherwise, contact your ISP for the MTU value.
Disconnect after idle time. You can assign an idle time if there is no Internet
traffic for the idle time you specified, the modem would be disconnected from
the ISP by the gateway automatically. The default value is 5 minutes.
Auto Reconnect. The gateway will reconnect your modem to the ISP when
you start the Internet access again after the idle time out you specified above.
Leave the Auto Reconnect unchecked, the PPPoE connection will be always
on, also the Disconnect after idle time will not work.
Use Static IP Address. If your ISP does not assign a dynamic address, you
will use the static IP address, enter the IP address, subnet mask, and DNS
address which your ISP assigned.
