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.
