Cisco Systems RVL200 manual Setup Password, PPTP Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol, Chapter

Chapter 4 Advanced Configuration

Keep Alive: Interval  If you select the Keep Alive option, the Router will send keep-alive packets as often as you specify. The default Interval is 30 seconds.

Keep Alive: Retry Times  If you select the Keep Alive option, the Router will send keep-alive packets as many times as you specify. If the Router does not receive a response from the ISP, then the Router will terminate the connection and start sending PADI packets after the Redial Period. The default Retry Times is 5 times.

Keep Alive: Redial Period  If you select the Keep Alive option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data packets periodically, so your ISP thinks that the connection is still active. This option keeps your connection active indefinitely, even when it sits idle. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.

MTU  The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) setting specifies the largest packet size permitted for network transmission. To manually set a value, select Manual and enter the value desired in the field provided. You should leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range, and most DSL users should use the value 1492. The default is Auto, which allows the Router to select the best MTU for your Internet connection.

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)

Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a service that applies to connections in Europe and Israel only.

PPTP

Specify WAN IP Address  Enter the external IP address of the Router.

Subnet Mask  Enter the subnet mask of the Router.

Default Gateway Address  Enter the IP address of the default gateway.

DNS Server (Required) 1/2  If you select Use the Following DNS Server Addresses, enter your DNS server IP address(es) (enter at least one). Multiple DNS server IP settings are common. In most cases, the first available DNS entry is used.

Connect on Demand  If you select the Connect on Demand option, the connection will be disconnected after a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time). If you have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. Enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet access disconnects. The default Max Idle Time is 5 minutes.

Keep Alive  If you select the Keep Alive option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data packets periodically, so your ISP thinks that the connection is still active. This option keeps your connection active indefinitely, even when it sits idle. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.

MTU  The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) setting specifies the largest packet size permitted for network transmission. To manually set a value, select Manual and enter the value desired in the field provided. You should leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range, and most DSL users should use the value 1492.

Setup > Password

The Router’s default User Name and Password is admin, and Linksys strongly recommends that you change the Router’s password from the default to a unique password.

NOTE: The password cannot be recovered if it is lost or forgotten. If the password is lost or forgotten, you have to reset the Router to its factory default settings; this will remove all of your configuration changes.
