Basic Settings
This section allows users to configure the WAN manually.
PPPoE
• LAN IP Address: Enter the IP address of the router (default = 192.168.123.254)
• Account: Enter your User Name provided by your ISP. Leave this blank if you have not been given a User Name by your ISP.
• Password: Enter your Password provided by your ISP.
• Specify DNS Server Address: Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS IP Address. Multiple DNS IP settings are common. The first available DNS entry is
used in most cases.
• Maximum Idle Time: If Dial-on-demand is enabled, this parameter is the number of minutes that the WAN connection is kept active after the last data was sent.
When this time period is exceeded, this WAN link will be dropped. This feature ensures that when frequent data traffic is sent or received by the WAN link, that the
Dial-on-demand startup delay does not impede the throughput for the user. Setting this to 0 will disable this feature.
• Auto-reconnect: If this box is left blank, then the connection will always be active. If the box is checked, then the router will start a WAN connection whenever there
is data to be transferred. This allows the router to be used with ISP accounts when the ISP bills per second of usage.
Dynamic IP
• LAN IP Address: Enter the IP address of the router (default = 192.168.123.254)
• Host Name: This entry is required by certain ISPs. Leave this blank if you have not been given this parameter by your ISP.
• WAN's MAC Address: This is the MAC address of the router. Clicking on Clone MAC will program the WAN port of the router with the MAC address of your PC.
• Renew IP Forever: When enabled, the router will automatically renew its IP address when the address lease time has expired.
