Server IP. Your modem’s IP, you have to set your computer as the same
domain as your modem’s (such as the modem’s IP address is 192.168.0.1 and
the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, your PC must be configured as 192.168.0.x,
the x is from 2 to 254, the subnet mask should be same as the modem’s
255.255.255.0), then you can reach the modem, if you are not sure that your
configuration is right, please try “ping <your modem’s IP>” in the command line
from your PC. If you don’t know the modem’s IP, please refer to the modem’s
manual or consult your ISP.
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 a specified 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 gateway will reconnect your modem
to the ISP when you start the Internet access again. The default value is 5
minutes, if you don’t want the gateway to disconnect your Internet connection
automatically, please select 0 minute for permanent Internet connection.
Auto Reconnect. If the ISP dropped the connection, or the modem lost the
connection accidentally, the gateway will reconnect your modem to the ISP
immediately.
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.
Use Static DNS. If you want to use your own DNS instead of ISP’s provision,
check this
box, and give the IP address of the DNS in the field. (At least one for
the primary field.)
MAC address. Some ISPs allow you to connect to them with specified MAC
address only, you can enter the MAC address manually or copy it from a PC
which is attached to the Local Port, you just type in its IP address, the gateway
will copy the MAC address from that PC. The gateway comes with the factory
default MAC address, no need to change the default value if the ISP is not
checking the MAC address of your Internet Port.
