Login
Login Method

If your ISP does not use a login method (username, password) for

 

Internet access, leave this at the default value "None (Direct connec-

 

tion)"

 

Otherwise, check the documentation from your ISP, select the login

 

method used, and enter the required data.

 

∙ PPPoE - this is the most common login method, widely used

 

 

with DSL modems. Normally, your ISP will have provided some

 

 

software to connect and login. This software is no longer re-

 

 

quired, and should not be used.

 

∙ PPTP - this is mainly used in Europe. You need to know the

 

 

PPTP Server address as well as your name and password.

 

∙ Big Pond Cable - for Australia only.

 

∙ SingTel RAS - for Singapore only.

behavior

∙

Automatic Connect/Disconnect

 

 

An Internet connection is automatically made when required, and

 

 

disconnected when idle for the time period specified by the

 

 

"Auto-disconnect Idle Time-out".

 

∙

Manual Connect/Disconnect

 

 

You must manually establish and terminate the connection.

 

∙ Keep alive (maintain connection)

 

 

The connection will never be disconnected by this device. If dis-

 

 

connected by your ISP, the connection will be re-established

 

 

immediately. (However, this does not ensure that your Internet IP

 

 

address will remain unchanged.)

 

 

Auto-disconnect

This field has no effect unless the setting above is Automatic Con-

Idle Time-out

nect/Disconnect.

 

If Auto-disconnect is being used, enter the desired idle time-out

 

period (in minutes). After the connection to your ISP has been idle for

 

this time period, the connection will be terminated.
