PPP Connections must configure:
Login User Name Used for authentication by your network service provider.
Login Password Used for authentication by your network service provider
Confirm Password Type the same password to confirm it.
Authentication Protocol used to confirm the identity of the subscriber. Choose chap
(default) or pap form the drop-down menu.
Connect on Demand
Select enabled or disabled. When this function is enabled the router will
connect any workstation on your LAN to the Internet upon request. If this
function is disabled, it will be necessary to access this menu and hit the
Connect button each time you want to establish a connection to the
WAN or the Internet.
Idle Time
A value of 0 means that the PPP connection will remain connected. If
your network account is billed according to the amount of time the
Router is actually connected to the Internet, enter an appropriate Idle
Time value (in seconds). This will disconnect the Router after the WAN
connection has been idle for the amount of time specified. The default
value = 0.
Connect / Disconnect
If you have enabled the Connect on Demand feature, the Router will
begin to negotiate the WAN connection upon restarting. If the Connect
on Demand feature has been disabled, click the Connect button to
initiate the connection via the ADSL WAN interface. The process will
take a few seconds. To end the WAN connection, click on the
Disconnect button.

This is enabled by default and therefore no IP settings need to be

server on the ISP network, type in the WAN IP address for the account.

server on the ISP network, check the DHCP client box to select it.
