Wireless Gateway User Guide

IP Address

Select the appropriate option:

from ISP

Dynamic This is the default, and the most common. Leave this selected

 

 

if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the Wireless Gateway upon con-

 

 

nection.

 

Fixed IP Address Select this if your ISP has allocated you a fixed IP

 

 

Address, then enter the IP Address in the fields provided.

 

 

DNS IP

The DNS (Domain Name Server) translates names (e.g. microsoft.com) to IP

Address

Addresses.

 

Enter the DNS IP address supplied or recommended by your ISP.

 

If desired, additional DNS entries can be made on the Options screen.

 

 

Telephone

If using a Leased Line (permanent connection), ignore these fields.

 

Otherwise, enter the telephone numbers to dial to connect to your ISP

 

(Internet Service Provider). The first number is required; the others are

 

optional.

 

Enter the telephone numbers using the format described in your modem’s

 

user manual.

 

 

 

Dial-In

 

 

Enable

If checked, this port is available for dial-in access. Otherwise, any attempt to

Dial-in

dial-in will be blocked.

If Internet Access is also enabled, Dial-in users may find it difficult to connect because the telephone line is in use. Reducing the Disconnect after Idle Time setting for Internet Access to 1 minute may help.

See Dial -in Users later in this Chapter for details of creating and man- aging dial-in users.

See the Dial-in section in Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on setting up the remote PC to use the Wireless Gateway's Dial-in facility.

Disconnect

If checked, a Dial-in connection will be terminated after the specified time-

after Idle

out period. The allowable range is 1-99 minutes.

Time

If preferred, the connection time limit may be set individually for each user.

 

 

 

Dial-in

Select the desired security option for log-in:

PPP Link

PAP has widespread support; almost all communications systems

 

support it.

 

CHAP is more secure than PAP; the password is encrypted before

 

transmission. If it is selected, the dial-in clients must also support CHAP

 

in order to connect.

 

MS CHAP is the Microsoft version of CHAP, used on Windows

 

platforms. If all dial-in clients are using Windows 95 or later, you can

 

choose this option.

 

None means no login authentication is performed.

 

Warning! If you choose "None", anyone can connect; this is a major

 

security risk.
