Chapter 5 Configuring Advanced Settings
4. Enable Public/Private IP Addressing. This feature is used in conjunction with
Multiple Static IP Addresses. When selected, the Gateway uses NAT for private
IP addressing for the LAN, allowing both public and private IP addressing to be
configured to the LAN simultaneously, while the DHCP server is reserved for
private IP addressing. All computers using public IP addresses must have the
public IP 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 Gateway 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
Gateway 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.
