[. . . ] Select "Enabled" to enable the remote management function. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place) 2. 2 WAN Use the WAN Settings screen if you have already configured the Quick Setup Wizard section and you would like to change your Internet connection type. The WAN Settings screen allows you to specify the type of WAN port connect you want to establish with your ISP. The WAN settings offer the following selections for the router's WAN port, Dynamic IP, PPPoE, PPTP, Static IP Address, L2TP, Telstra Big Pond, DNS and DDNS. 21 Parameter Description Dynamic IP Static IP address PPPoE PPTP L2TP Telstra Big Pond DNS DDNS Your ISP will automatically give you an IP address Your ISP has given you an IP address already Your ISP requires PPPoE connection. Your ISP requires you to use a Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) connection. You can specify a DNS server that you wish to use You can specify a DDNS server that you wish to use and configure the user name and password provided by you DDNS service provider. Once you have made a selection, click <More Configuration> at the bottom of the screen and proceed to the manual's relevant sub-section 2. 2. 1 Dynamic IP Choose the Dynamic IP selection if your ISP will automatically give you an IP address. Some ISP's may also require that you fill in additional information such as Host Name, Domain Name and MAC address (see chapter 1 "Cable Modem" for more detail) 2. 2. 2 Static IP Address Select Static IP address if your ISP has given you a specific IP address for you to use. (See chapter 1 "Fixed IP" for more detail) 2. 2. 3 PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) Select PPPoE if your ISP requires the PPPoE protocol to connect you to the Internet. (See chapter 1 "PPPoE" for more detail) 2. 2. 4 PPTP Select PPTP if your ISP requires the PPTP protocol to connect you to the Internet. (See chapter 1 "PPTP" for more detail) 2. 2. 5 L2TP Select L2TP if your ISP requires the L2TP protocol to connect you to the Internet. Your ISP should provide all the information required in this section. 22 Parameter Description Obtain an IP address Use the following IP address IP Address Subnet Mask Gateway User ID Password L2TP Gateway The ISP requires you to obtain an IP address by DHCP automatically efore connecting to the L2TP server. The ISP give you a static IP to be used to connect to the L2TP server. This is the IP address that your ISP has given you to establish a L2TP connection. Sometimes called a Connection ID Enter the Password provided by your ISP for the PPTP connection If your LAN has a L2TP gateway, then enter that L2TP gateway IP address here. If you do not have a L2TP gateway then enter the ISP's Gateway IP address above If you select "Continuous", the router will always connect to the ISP. If the WAN line breaks down and links again, the router will auto-reconnect to the ISP. If you select "Connect On Demand", the router will auto-connect to the ISP when someone want to use the Internet and keep connected until the WAN idle timeout. The router will close the WAN connection if the time period that no one is using the Internet exceeds the "Idle Time". If you select "Manual", the router will connect to ISP only when you click "Connect" manually from the Web user interface. If the WAN line breaks down and latter links again, the router will not auto-connect to the ISP. This means if no packets have been sent (no one using the Internet) throughout this specified period, then the router will automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP. Note: This "idle timeout" function may not work due to abnormal activities of some network application software, computer virus or hacker attacks from the Internet. [. . . ] This is a convenient and efficient method for routers to route IP packets to their destination. The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). [. . . ]
