1-8 Configuring Internet Connectivity
v1.1, May 2008
• Telstra Bigpond, an Australian residential cable modem service
• Other, which selects PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet), the protocol used
by most DSL services worldwide.
– Login and Password. This is the user name and password provided by your ISP. This
name and password are used to log in to the ISP server.
– Service Name. If your connection is capable of connecting to multiple Internet services,
this setting specifies which service to use.
– Connection Mode. This drop-down list (shown in Figure 1-5 on page 1-7) selects when
the router will connect to and disconnect from the Internet. The list includes:
• Always On. The router logs in to the Internet immediately after booting and never
disconnects.
• Dial on Demand. The router logs in only when outgoing traffic is present and logs out
after the idle time-out.
• Manually Connect. The router logs in or logs out only when the user clicks Connect
or Disconnect in the Router Status screen.
– Idle Timeout. Your Internet connection is logged out if there is no data transfer during the
specified time interval.
Note: The Telstra Bigpond setting is only for older cable modem service
accounts still requiring a Bigpond login utility. Telstra has
discontinued this type of account. Those with Telstra DSL accounts
and newer cable modem accounts should select No for Does Your
Internet Connection Require a Login.

Note: Not all ISPs are listed here. The ones on this list have special
requirements.
