The Ethernet (WAN) Port Configuration Screen

To determine which method to use, contact the System Administrator. The following screen shows all the available settings.

Figure 18. Ethernet Port Configuration (All Settings)

The following table describes all possible fields on the Ethernet Port Configuration screen.

Connection Type

Connection Type The available options are:

Travel Mode (Hotel) - This is the default. No data needs to be input. This setting will work in many situations, not just hotels.

PPPoE - The most common login method for DSL modems. Normally, the ISP will provide some software to connect and login. If using the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router, this software is not required, and should not be used.

PPTP - Used mainly in Europe. The PPTP Server address, username, and password are required. L2TP - Not widely used. The L2TP Server address, username, and password are required.

No Login (Static IP address) - Used with a static (fixed) IP address. Users do not need to log in to a server to gain access to the LAN or WAN.

Login User Name The username (or account name) provided by the ISP.

Login Password The password for the login name above. Server IP Address For PPTP or L2TP, enter the server IP address.

For other connection methods, this field should be ignored.

Connection Behavior

Select the desired option:

Automatic Connect/Disconnect

A connection is automatically made when required, and disconnected when idle for the time period specified by the Auto-disconnect Idle Time-out.

Manual Connect/Disconnect

Manually establish and terminate the connection.

Keep alive (maintain connection)

The connection will never be disconnected by this device. If disconnected by the server, the connection will be re-established immediately.

Note: Selecting this option does not ensure that the Ethernet (WAN) Port IP address will remain unchanged.

Auto-disconnectThis field has no effect unless using the Automatic Connect/Disconnect setting.

Idle TIme-outIf using this setting, enter the desired idle time-out period (in minutes). After the connection has been idle for this time period, the connection will be terminated.
