Fixed-IP xDSL

Some xDSL Internet Service Providers may assign a fixed (static) IP address. If you have been provided with this information, choose this option and enter the assigned IP address, gateway IP address, DNS IP addresses, and subnet mask.

PPPoE xDSL

Enter the PPPoE User Name and Password assigned by your Service Provider. The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by some service providers. Leave the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) at the default value unless you have a particular reason to change it. Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped. (Default: 10) Configure the Connect mode option to the desired settings. “Always On Line” signifies that the broadband router will maintain your Internet connection consistently and automatically connect to the Internet after any disconnection. “Manual Connect” signifies that the broadband router will establish an Internet connection only when the administrator logs into the web management and manually presses the “Connect” button. While using the “Connect On Demand” option, if the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped and will automatically re-establish the connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again.
