Chapter 4 Configuring Advanced Settings

4. Enable Public/Private

Addressing. This feature is used in conjunction with

Multiple Static IP Addresses. When selected, the Modem uses

NAT

for private

addressing for the

LAN

, allowing both public and private

addressing to be

configured to the

LAN

simultaneously, while the

DHCP

server is reserved for

private IP addressing. All computers using public

addresses must have the

public

addresses statically assigned.

5. Select the

DNS

type. If static

DNS

address was selected, enter the primary

DNS

address and, optionally, the secondary

DNS

address in the appropriate text

boxes.

6. Select Dialout on-demand (optional). To have the Modem automatically

connect to the Internet whenever needed (when a Web browser is opened,
for example), activate “Dialout on-demand” by clicking in the appropriate
check box. When Dialout on-demand is activated, the user can also set the
Modem to disconnect from the Internet after a certain amount of idle time
(no Internet activity). To do this, enter the number of idle time minutes
(minimum 2 minutes) before disconnection occurs in the text box before
“Minutes.”

7. Adjust

MTU

settings (optional). Enter the maximum transmission unit (

MTU

)

value (in bytes) in this text box. This value corresponds to the largest physical
packet size the network is allowed to transmit. Packets larger than this size are
divided into smaller packets. It is recommended to leave this value set at the
default (1492).

When finished in this screen, click Apply to activate any changes made.
