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 Enter an MTU value only if required by your ISP. Otherwise, leave it at
the default setting.
Connect Mode 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.
PPTP or Point-to-Point Protocol is a safe method
of sending information between VPN’s securely
using encryption over PPP. You, as the client,
need to enter the correct information that the
server has in order to create that secure tunnel.
Using Dynamic IP, the router will set your basic IP
parameters for you, such as the IP Address,
Subnet Mask and Gateway. For Static IP, this
information must be set manually by the user. All
information in this window should be provided by
your ISP.
