D-Link DIR-120 User Manual 28
The table below describes the PPPoE Internet Connection menu settings.
User Name The user name supplied to you by your ISP.
Password The password supplied to you by your ISP.
Retype Password Retype the password entered in the Password feld.
Service Name Enter the service name supplied to you by your ISP, if required.
IP Address Enter the IP address given to you by your ISP. This field is only to be completed if the Static PPPoE button is
selected.
MAC Address This field requires the user to enter the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Ethernet Card of your
computer, if instructed to do so by your ISP. To quickly accomplish this, click the Clone MAC Address button,
which will automatically copy the MAC address of your Ethernet card and enter it into the space provided, which
will replace the MAC address of the router.
Primary DNS Address This entry is for the IP address of your primary domain name server, which should also be provided to you by your
ISP. The router will first try the Primary DNS Address to resolve a website’s URL IP address. If this IP address
fails, the router will then try the Secondary DNS Address. This field is only to be completed if the Static PPPoE
button is selected.
Secondary DNS Address The IP address of the secondary domain name server will be used to resolve a website’s URL IP address if the
Primary DNS Address fails. The information in this field should also be provided by your ISP and is only to be
completed if the Static PPPoE button is selected.
Maximum Idle Time A value of 0 means that the PPP connection will remain connected. If your network account is billed according to
the amount of time the Router is actually connected to the Internet, enter an appropriate Idle Time value (in
seconds). This will disconnect the Router after the WAN connection has been idle for the amount of time specified.
The default value = 5.
MTU This field refers to the Maximum Transfer Unit, which is the maximum size of a packet, in bytes, that will be
accepted by the router. The default setting is 1500 bytes. This field should not be altered unless instructed by your
ISP.
Connect Mode Select This function, with Connect-on-demand selected, will allow the router to connect any workstation on your LAN to
the Internet upon request. If this function is set at Always-on, no request from the workstation will be needed to
connect to the Internet. If Manual is selected, it will be necessary for the workstation on the LAN to manually
connect to the Internet through this router.
