Modifying Broadband Connection Settings

The Broadband Connection panel allows you to modify your broadband connection.

1.From the Connection Type drop-down menu, select the connection type: PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct IP (DHCP or Static), or Routed IPoA.

If you connect via PPPoE or PPPoA, proceed to step 2. If you connect via Direct IP or Routed IPoA, proceed to step 5. Direct IP and Routed IPoA connections do not require a user name or password.

2.In the Username field, enter your user name.

3.In the Password field, enter your password.

4.In the Confirm Password field, re-enter your password.

5.In the PPP on Demand field, enter a value for the length of time you wish the PPP session to remain active.

If the value is set to 0, the PPP session will not time-out (it will be always-on). If the value is between 1 to 10080 minutes, the PPP session will time-out if the gateway doesn’t detect outbound traffic destined for the Internet in the specified time.

6.Click SAVE.

Modifying the Hardware Address

By default, the gateway uses its built-in hardware address. The Hardware Address Override panel allows you to manually override the MAC address of the broadband connection, which is sometimes required for cable modems that perform MAC address authentication.

1.Click the Override the built-in hardware address radio button.

2.In the Hardware Address field, enter the alternative hardware address.

3.Click SAVE.

Enabling Hostname Override

In the DHCP Host Name field, enter the DHCP host name you want the gateway to use. This field is only relevant if your ISP uses DHCP host name authentication.
