L2PT
Choose between Dynamic and Static IP. Using Dynamic IP, the
router will set your basic IP parameters, such as the IP Address,
Subnet Mask and Gateway. For Static IP, this information must be set
manually by the user.
IP Address
The IP address that will be assigned to your router for this connection,
as stated by your ISP. Dynamic IP requires no input here.
Subnet Mask The IP address of the corresponding Subnet Mask, as stated to you by
your ISP. Dynamic IP requires no input here.
Gateway The IP address of the gateway device, as stated to you by your ISP.
Dynamic IP requires no input here.
Server IP The IP address of your ISP’s server computer, as stated to you by your
ISP.
L2PT Account The account name of the L2PT account that has been assigned to you
by your ISP.
L2PT Password The password of the L2PT account that was supplied to you by your
ISP.
L2PT Retype Password Retype the password that was entered in the L2PT field. Ensure that
these two passwords are identical or an error will occur.
Maximum Idle Time A value of 0 means 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
If Connect-on-demand is selected, will allow the router to connect
any workstation on your LAN to the Internet upon request. If
Always-on, no request from the workstation will be needed to connect
to the Internet. If Manual is selected, the workstation on the LAN must
manually connect to the Internet through this router.
Some ISPs may require the user to uplink using
the Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling (L2PT) method.
L2PT is a VPN protocol that will ensure a direct
connection to the server using an authentication
process that guarantees the data originated from
the claimed sender and was not damaged or
altered in transit. Once connected to the VPN
tunnel, it seems to the user that the client
computer is directly connected to the internal
network. To set up your L2PT connection, enter
the following data
that was provided to you by
your ISP.
