Some ISPs require the use of PPPoE for the network connection. When PPPoE is in use, input the username and password provided by your ISP. (See Figure 4.10-1)

Figure 4.10-1

Username : Enter the username assigned by your ISP.

Password : Enter the password assigned by your ISP. Enter the service name if required.

Connect-on-Demand : This feature allows the router to initiate a connection with ISP when a Internet request is made to the XRouter Pro. If you enable the XRouter Pro’s Connect-on-Demand feature, a connection to the Internet will auto- matically be initiated when you open your browser. We recommend having this feature enabled if you do not wish to enter the web based configuration and access to internet manually.

Service Name : This field is optional and is not needed for all ISPs. Input the Server Name in this field if your ISP requires it.

Disconnect when network idle : This field allows you to enter the amount of idle time (in minutes) required prior to being disconnected from the ISP. For example, if you set the idle to “10”, then the XRouter Pro will disconnect your PPP connection after 10 minutes. Enter “0” if no idle time is used.

PPPoE Management : This section provides status information on your PPP con- nection and allows you manually connect and disconnect the PPP connection. To manually connect click Connect, and to manually disconnect, click Disconnect.

NOTE: If connection problems occur via PPPoE to your ISP, please verify the that your ISPs connects directly to your Internet line, or if the above settings and cables connect to your XRouter Pro.
