L2TP Gateway

If your LAN has a L2TP gateway, then enter that L2TP gateway

 

IP address here. If you do not have a L2TP gateway then enter

 

the ISP’s Gateway IP address above.

MTU

This is optional. You can specify the maximum size of your

 

transmission packet to the Internet. Leave it as it is if you do not

 

wish to set a maximum packet size.

Connection Type

If you select “Continuous”, the router will always connect to the

 

ISP. If the WAN line breaks down and links again, the router will

 

auto-reconnect to the ISP.

 

If you select “Connect On Demand”, the router will auto-connect

 

to the ISP when someone want to use the Internet and keep

 

connected until the WAN idle timeout. The router will close the

 

WAN connection if the time period that no one is using the

 

Internet exceeds the “Idle Time”.

 

If you select “Manual”, the router will connect to ISP only when

 

you click “Connect” manually from the Web user interface. The

 

WAN connection will not be disconnected due to the idle timeout.

 

If the WAN line breaks down and latter links again, the router will

 

not auto-connect to the ISP.

Idle Time Out

You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the WAN

 

port. This means if no packets have been sent (no one using the

 

Internet) throughout this specified period, then the router will

 

automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP.

Click <OK> when you have finished the configuration above. Congratulations! You have completed the configuration for the L2TP connection. You can start using the router now, if you wish to use some of the advance features supported by this router see chapter 3, 4, 5.

The WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect function may not work due to abnormal activities of some network application software; computer virus or hacker attacks from the Internet. For example, some software sends network packets to the

?Note Internet in the background, even when you are not using the Internet. So please turn off your computer when you are not using it. This function also may not work

with some ISP. So please make sure this function can work properly when you use this function in the first time, especially when your ISP charge you by time used.
