SMC Networks Barricade BR14VPN - Manual (Page 17)

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.
