b.If you wish to change the idle timeout, enter a new value in minutes..

Note: PPPoE and PPPoA will authenticate with the network when you have data to transmit.The gateway will stay connected until you stop transmitting and will then wait for the login timeout to expire before disconnecting.

2.Internet IP Address: If your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP address for your PC our gateway, select “Use static IP address”. Enter the IP address that your gateway has been assigned. Also enter the netmask and the Gateway IP address. The Gateway IP Address is the ISP’s router to which your gateway will connect.

3.Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the gateway during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it also.

A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP addresses of one or two DNS servers to your gateway during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter an address here, you should reboot your PCs after configuring the gateway.

4.ISP Parameters for Internet Access. Your ISP will indicate whether your Multiplexing Method is VC-BASED or LLC-BASED and which VPI and VCI is used. Enter the information in this screen. The most common Multiplexing Method is LLC-based. If your service provider does not indicate which one is used, use LLC-BASED.

Note: The Multiplexing Method and VPI/VCI combination has been preconfigured for your ISP. You should not have to change these parameters.

Note: The Setup Wizard may be able to detect the VPI/VCI configuration automatically, in which case the values will be relected in the VPI/VCI field.
