–Idle Timeout: An idle Internet connection will be terminated after this time period.

If this value is zero (0), then the connection will be “kept alive” by reconnecting immediately whenever the connection is lost.

•Internet IP Address: If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed IP address, the router will find an IP address for you automatically when you connect. Select Get dynamically from ISP.

If you have a fixed (static, permanent) IP address, your ISP will have provided you with an IP address. Select Use static IP address, and then type in the IP address.

•Account Name (also known as host name or system name): For most users, type your account name or user name in this box. For example, if your main mail account is JerAB@ISP.com, then type JerAB here. If your ISP has given you a specific host name, then type it (for example, CCA7324-A).

•Domain Name: For most users, you may leave this box blank, unless required by your ISP. You may type the domain name of your ISP. For example, if your ISP’s mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, you would type xxx.yyy.zzz as the Domain Name.

If you have a domain name given to you by your ISP, type it in this box. (For example, Earthlink Cable may require a host name of “home” and Comcast sometimes supplies a domain name.)

If you have a cable modem, this is usually the workgroup name.

•Internet IP Address: If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed IP address, the router will find an IP address for you automatically when you connect. Select Get Dynamically From ISP.

If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP will have provided you with the required information. Select Use Static IP Address and type the IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address.

For example:

IP Address: 24.218.156.183

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway IP Address: 24.218.156.1

•Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
