IP Address This option is available if you set the WAN mode to Ethernet WAN or
select Routing in the Mode field.
A static IP address is a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP
address is not fixed; the ISP assigns you a different one each time you
connect to the Internet.
Select Obtain an IP Address Automatically if you have a dynamic
IP address; otherwise select Static IP Address and type your ISP
assigned IP address in the IP Address field below.
Subnet Mask Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation when you select
DHCP in the Encapsulation field.
Gateway IP
address
You must specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP) when
you select DHCP in the Encapsulation field.
DNS Server
First DNS Server
Second DNS
Server
Third DNS Server
Select Obtained From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS
server information (and the ZyXEL Device's WAN IP address) and you
select Obtain an IP Address Automatically.
Select UserDefined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter
the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose
UserDefined, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, UserDefined
changes to None after you click Apply. If you set a second choice to
User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second
UserDefined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must
have another DNS server on your LAN, or else the computers must
have their DNS server addresses manually configured. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer
in order to access it.

all the time and specify an idle time-out in the Max Idle Timeout
field.
