Choose this option if your ISP told you to use this mode of encapsulation.
Use the User Name, Password, and Service Name (if applicable) provided by
your ISP.
1. Enter the Service Name (if provided) in the field.
2. Enter the User Name in the Specify an IP Address field.
3. Enter the Password in the Password field.
4. Choose either Connect on Demand or Keep Alive to determine how
the Gateway will maintain your Internet connection during any period
of inactivity. If you have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect
on Demand enables the Gateway to automatically re-establish your
connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. You can
configure the Gateway to cut your connection with your ISP after a
specified period of time (Max Idle Time). The Keep Alive option keeps
your Internet access connected indefinitely, even when it sits idle.
