•User Name: Enter the user name required by your ISP when you connect to the Internet.
Note: you may need to append your ISP’s domain suffix to the username, i.e., username@verizon.net.
•Password: Enter the password required by your ISP when you connect to the Internet.

•Maximum Idle Time: (Default 0) This field specifies the number of minutes of inactivity before your IP8100 series telephone terminates the PPPoE session. To avoid periodic disconnection from the Internet, leave this value set to zero.
To allow your computer to disconnect after a period of inactivity, enter the time in minutes. (For example, enter 10 to disconnect 10 minutes after you’ve stopped using the computer.)
•MTU: (Default 1492) Data sent over networks is divided into packets of a certain size. MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) specifies the largest packet size allowed for transmission over a network. This value typically does not need to be changed. Do not change it unless advised to do so by your Internet Service Provider.
•MAC Address: This defaults to the MAC® (Media Access Control) address of the WAN port in the IP8100 series telephone. If your ISP has registered the MAC address of your computer, you can manually enter it here, or use the DHCP Client List to copy it.
•DHCP Client List: Lists all MAC addresses of computers that have obtained a DHCP lease from the IP8100 series telephone. If your ISP has registered the MAC address of your computer, select that MAC address from the list, click Copy, then click Apply to save the page settings. Clicking Restore takes you back to the default MAC address value.
