¾ Connection: For PPPoE/PPPoA connection, you can select Always on or Connect
on-Demand or Connect Manually. Connect on demand is dependent on the traffic. If there
is no traffic (or Idle) for a pre-specified period of time), the connection will tear down
automatically. And once there is traffic send or receive, the connection will be automatically
on.
¾ Static/Dynamic IP Address: For PPPoE/PPPoA connection, you need to specify the public
IP address for this ADSL Router. The IP address can be either dynamically (via DHCP) or
given IP address provided by your ISP. For Static IP, you need to specify the IP address,
Subnet Mask and Gateway IP address.
¾ Default Route: You should select Yes to configure the PVC as the default gateway to
internet from this device.
¾ MAC Spoofing: MAC Spoofing feature allows you to change the assigned MAC address of
the ADSL Router to a different one, which may allow the bypassing of access control lists on
servers either hiding a computer on a network or allowing it to impersonate another computer.
You can select Enable and specify a MAC Address for the Router here, or keep the default
setting as Disable.
4. Bridge Mode
If you select this type of connection, the modem can be configured to act as a bridging device
between your LAN and your ISP. Bridges are devices that enable two or more networks to
communicate as if they are two segments of the same physical LAN.
