The following descriptions explain all of the possible fields in the Basic Settings screen. The
fields that display in this screen depend on whether an ISP login is required.
Does Your ISP Require a Login? Answer either yes or no.
• When no login is required, these fields display:
Account Name (If required) . Enter the account name that your ISP provided. This might
also be called the host name.
Domain Name (If required) . Enter the domain name that your ISP provided.
• When your ISP requires a login, these fields display:
Encapsulation . Encapsulation is a method for enclosing multiple protocols. PPP stands
for Point-to-Point Protocol. The choices are PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) or PPPoA (PPP
over ATM).
Login . The login name that your ISP provided. This is often an email address.
Password . The password that you use to log in to your ISP.
Service Name (If Required) . Enter the account name provided by your ISP. This might
also be called the host name.
Connection Mode
. By default, this setting is Always On, so that the modem router
automatically connects to the Internet.
Idle Timeout (In minutes) . If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in
minutes. This determines how long the modem router keeps the Internet connection
active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering a value of 0 (zero) means
never log out.
Internet IP Address .
• Get Dynamically from ISP . Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP
automatically assigns these addresses.
• Use Static IP Address . Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway IP
address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the ISP’s modem router to which your
modem router will connect.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address . The DNS server is used to look up site addresses
based on their names.
• Get Automatically from ISP . Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP
automatically assigns this address.
• Use These DNS Servers . If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS
addresses to the modem router during login, select this option, and enter the IP address
of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is available, enter
it also.
