IP Address
from ISP
Select the appropriate option:
•
Dynamic
This is the default, and the most common. Leave this selected
if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the Wireless Gateway upon con-
nection.
•
Fixed IP Address
Select this if your ISP has allocated you a fixed IP
Address, then enter the IP Address in the fields provided.
DNS IP
Address
The DNS (Domain Name Server) translates names (e.g. microsoft.com) to IP
Addresses.
Enter the DNS IP address supplied or recommended by your ISP.
If desired, additional DNS entries can be made on the Options screen.
Telephone
If using a Leased Line (permanent connection), ignore these fields.
Otherwise, enter the telephone numbers to dial to connect to your ISP
(Internet Service Provider). The first number is required; the others are
optional.
Enter the telephone numbers using the format described in your modem’s
user manual.
Dial-In
Enable
Dial-in
If checked, this port is available for dial-in access. Otherwise, any attempt to
dial-in will be blocked.
If Internet Access is also enabled, Dial-in users may find it difficult to
connect because the telephone line is in use. Reducing the Disconnect after
Idle Time setting for Internet Access to 1 minute may help.

See Dial -in Users later in this Chapter for details of creating and man-
aging dial-in users.
•
See the Dial-in section in Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on
setting up the remote PC to use the Wireless Gateway's Dial-in facility.
Disconnect
after Idle
Time
If checked, a Dial-in connection will be terminated after the specified time-
out period. The allowable range is 1-99 minutes.
If preferred, the connection time limit may be set individually for each user.
Dial-in
PPP Link
Select the desired security option for log-in:
•
PAP
has widespread support; almost all communications systems
support it.
•
CHAP
is more secure than PAP; the password is encrypted before
transmission. If it is selected, the dial-in clients must also support CHAP
in order to connect.
•
MS CHAP
is the Microsoft version of CHAP, used on Windows
platforms. If all dial-in clients are using Windows 95 or later, you can
choose this option.
•
None
means no login authentication is performed.
Warning!
If you choose "
None
", anyone can connect; this is a major
security risk.
