Internet Setup Screen Fields

The following descriptions explain all of the possible fields on the Internet Setup screen. Note that which fields display on this screen depends on whether an ISP login is required.

Does Your ISP Require a Login? Select either Yes or No.

These fields display when no login is required:

•Account Name (If Required). Enter the account name provided by your ISP. This might also be called the host name.

•Domain Name (If Required). Enter the domain name provided by your ISP.

These fields display when your ISP does require a login:

•Internet Service Provider. As the ISP tunneling protocol, select PPTP, L2TP, or PPPoE.

•Login. Enter the login name provided by your ISP. This is often an email address.

•Password. Enter the password that you use to log in to your ISP.

•Service Name (If Required). Enter the service name provided by your ISP. If your ISP did not give you a service name, leave this field blank.

•Connection Mode. Select the one of the following connection modes:

-Always On. The connection automatically starts when you turn on the router and does not time out. If the connection is terminated for some reason, the router attempts to bring up the connection.

-Dial on Demand. The connection automatically starts when there is outbound traffic to the Internet and automatically terminates when the idle time-out period is exceeded.

-Manually Connect. You need to connect and disconnect manually. To connect to the Internet, click the Advanced tab to display the Internet Port pane, click the Connection Status button to display the Connection Status screen (see Connection Status on page 122), and then click the Connect button. The manual connection does not time out. To disconnect from the Internet, click the Disconnect button. The Connect and Disconnect buttons display only when the connection mode is Manually Connect.

•Idle Timeout (In Minutes). If you want to change the login time-out, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how long the router keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering a value of 0 (zero) means never log out.
