Service Name Enter the service name supplied to you by your ISP, if required.

MAC Address This field will instruct 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 Duplicate MAC address
from the customer end button, which will automatically copy the
MAC address of your Ethernet card and enter it into the space

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 1492 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.
