Advanced Features
Use this DNS If this option is selected, you must enter the IP address of the DNS
(Domain Name Server) you wish to use.
Note: If the DNS is unavailable, the "Backup DNS", entered on the "Options" screen, will
be used.
Login
Login Method If your ISP does not use a login method (username, password) for
Internet access, leave this at the default value None (Direct connec-
tion). Otherwise, check the documentation from your ISP, select the
login method used, and enter the required data.
• PPPoE - this is the most common login method, widely used
with DSL modems. Normally, your ISP will have provided some
software to connect and login. This software is no longer re-
quired, and should not be used.
• PPPoE (Unnumbered IP) - this can only be used if your ISP
supports this system, and has allocated you multiple IP ad-
dresses. If selected, you must also select "Specified IP Address"
above and enter one of the IP addresses allocated to you by your
ISP.
• PPTP - this is mainly used in Europe. You need to know the
PPTP Server address as well as your name and password.
• Big Pond Cable - for Australia only.
• SingTel RAS - for Singapore only.
• L2TP - this is not widely used. You need to know the PPTP
Server address as well as your name and password.
Login User Name The User Name (or account name) provided by your ISP.
Login Password Enter the password for the login name above.
RAS Plan For SingTel customers only, select the RAS plan you are on.
Server Address If using PPTP, L2TP, or Big Pond Cable, the Server address is
required.
• For PPTP and L2TP, you can select and enter either the name or
IP address of your ISP's server.
• For Big Pond Cable, you must select "IP" and enter the IP
address of the Big Pond Server.
Connection
Behavior Select the desired option:
• Automatic Connect/Disconnect
An Internet connection is automatically made when required,
and disconnected when idle for the time period specified by the
"Auto-disconnect Idle Time-out".
• Manual Connect/Disconnect
You must manually establish and terminate the connection.
• Keep alive (maintain connection)
The connection will never be disconnected by this device. If dis-
connected by your ISP, the connection will be re-established
immediately. (However, this does not ensure that your Internet
IP address will remain unchanged.)
