and enter the IP Address and Subnet Mask provided by your ISP.

Specify WAN IP Address Enter the IP address provided by your ISP.
■
Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask values provided by your ISP.
■
Default Gateway IP Address Your ISP will provide you with the Default Gateway IP
Address.
■
Domain Name Server (DNS) Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS IP
Address. Multiple DNS IP settings are common. The first available DNS entry is used in
most cases.
PPPoE (most ADSL services)
If your ISP provides PPPoE connectivity, choose this item from the drop-down list.
Note: If you select PPPoE, you will no longer need to use any existing PPPoE
applications on any computers to connect to the Internet.
■
User Name Enter the user name as provided by your ISP.
■
Password Enter the password as provided by your ISP.
■
Connect-on-demand Is a utility to trigger the PPPoE session to connect if in a disconnected
state when Internet access is being attempted. Choose “Enable” to make this function
active, and enter the number of minutes you wish to wait after network idle time in the
“Max Idle Time” location. This function is for PPPoE only.
■
Keep Alive This function keeps your PPPoE connection always on even during a period of
no WAN activity. In some situations the PPPoE session can not be restored immediately
after disconnection because the ISP’s system may need time to restore. Check with your ISP
to ascertain how much time is required before the router starts to re-build the PPPoE session
and enter this into the “Redial Period” field.
