Bridge
Interface
This field is only available when you select PPPoE LLC or PPPoE VC-
Mux in the Encapsulation field.
Use this field to enable or disable the bridge mode. Activate the bridge
mode when your ISP provides you with more than one IP address and
you want the connected computers to get individual IP address from
ISP’s DHCP server directly.
Connection Setting
Connection Select Always On (Recommended) when you want your connection
up all the time. The P-660RU-Tx will try to bring up the connection
automatically if it is disconnected.
Select Connect On-Demand when you don't want the connection up all
the time and specify an idle time-out in minutes. The default setting is 0
minute, which means the Internet session will not timeout.
Select Connect Manually to establish the connection only when you
need it.
Note: Do not specify an always-on connection unless your
telephone company offers flat-rate service or you need a
constant connection and the cost is of no concern.
TCP MSS
Option
The TCP Maximum Segment Size (MSS) defines the size of the largest
packet allowed on an interface or connection. Enter the TCP MSS in this
field. In general, the TCP MSS is 1452.
IP Address
Get IP Address Select the type of IP address provided by your ISP. A static IP address is
a fixed IP that your ISP gives you. A dynamic IP address is not fixed; the
ISP assigns you a different one each time you connect to the Internet.
Static IP
Address
Type your ISP assigned IP address in the field.
IP Subnet Mask Enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal notation.
Gateway Specify a gateway IP address (supplied by your ISP).
NAT Use this field to enable or disable Network Address Translation (NAT).
Default Route Select Yes to direct traffic not listed in the routing table to the default
gateway. Select No to drop traffic not listed in the routing table.
TCP MTU
Option
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) defines the size of the largest
packet allowed on an interface or connection. Enter the MTU in this field.
Dynamic Route RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing
information with other routers.
Select the RIP version from RIP1, RIP2-B and RIP2-M.
Direction Use this field to control how much routing information the P-660RU-Tx
sends and receives on the subnet.
Select the RIP direction from None, Both, IN Only and OUT Only.
