L2TP

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is a service that tunnels Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) across the Internet. It is used mostly in European countries. Check with your ISP for the necessary setup information.

IP Address. This is the Router’s IP address, when seen from the WAN, or the Internet. Your ISP will provide you with the IP Address you need to specify here.

Subnet Mask. This is the Router’s Subnet Mask. Your ISP will provide you with the Subnet Mask and your IP address.

Gateway. Your ISP will provide you with the Default Gateway IP Address.

L2TP Server. Enter the IP address of the L2TP server.

User Name and Password. Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP.

Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time. You can configure the Router to cut the Internet connection after it has been inactive for a specified period of time (Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has been terminated 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. If you wish to activate Connect on Demand, click the Connect on Demand option and enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet connection terminates in the Max Idle Time field. Use this option to minimize your DSL connection time if it is charged based on time. This option is disabled by default.

Keep Alive Redial period. If you select this option, the Router will periodically check your Internet connection. If you are disconnected, then the Router will automatically re-establish your connection. To use this option, click the option next to Keep Alive. In the Redial Period field, you specify how often you want the Router to check the Internet connection. This option is enabled by default and the default Redial Period is 30 seconds. Use this option to minimize your Internet connection response time since it will always be connected.
