Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless Cable Router User Manual

If a User Name, Password and/or Static IP was entered in the Installation Buddy or during Basic Setup, it should be displayed in the “Broadband Connection via PPPoE” screen. If not, enter the information now. If the information is unavailable, contact the ISP.

Dialout on-demand/Idle timeout

To have the Router automatically connect to the Internet whenever needed (when a Web browser is opened, for example), activate “Dialout on-demand” by clicking in the appropriate check box.

When Dialout on-demand is activated, the user can also set the Router to dis- connect from the Internet after a certain amount of idle time (no Internet activ- ity). To do this, enter the number of idle time minutes (minimum 2 minutes) before disconnection occurs in the text box before “Minutes.”

Obtain an IP Through DHCP

Select this option if the IP service is configured to use RFC 1483 Bridged or Routed (used for configurations without a Static IP assigned by an ISP). In this mode, the Router will query the ISP to receive the IP address and routing information, which will terminate at the Router, as opposed to the IP address and routing information being bridged to terminate at the computer. This allows the use of the router capa- bilities for the Local Area Network (LAN).

Some ISPs need to authenticate their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain Name. If this is the case, check with the ISP for a host name and domain name and enter them in the appropriate text boxes in the “Broadband Connection via DHCP” screen. If the ISP does not require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.

☞Note: Contact the ISP if unsure of the proper configuration.
