[. . . ] If you select the Dynamic IP radio button, then the IP address in the next field is not required. However, if you select the Static IP radio button, then the IP address in the next field is required. User Name: Specify the user name which is provided by your ISP. Password: Specify the password which is provided by your ISP, and then verify it once again in the next field. Service Name: Specify the name of the ISP. Reconnect Mode: Select a reconnection time: Always on (A connection to the Internet is always maintained), On demand (A connection to the Internet is made as needed), Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet. Maximum Idle Time: Specify the time after which the router will automatically disconnect the current session when no data-traffic has been detected for the set period of time. AGE 35 36 Primary / Secondary DNS Address: Specify the primary and secondary IP address, which is assigned by your ISP. MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP. Typical values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection and 1492 bytes for a PPPoE connection. If the router's MTU is set too high, packets will be fragmented downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low, the router will fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be unable to establish some connections. In either case, network performance can suffer. MAC Address: If you need to change the MAC address of the router's WANside Ethernet interface, either type in an alternate MAC address (for example, the MAC address of the router initially connected to the ISP) or click on Clone Your PCs MAC Address. Click on the Apply button to store these settings. AGE 36 37 PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) The WAN interface can be configured as PPTP. PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) uses a virtual private network to connect to your ISP. This method of connection is primarily used in Europe. This method of connection requires you to enter a username and password (provided by your ISP) to gain access to the Internet. The supported authentication protocols are PAP and CHAP. Select the PPTP from the My Internet Connection drop-down list. Address Mode: PPTP can be used with a dynamic or static IP address. If you select the Dynamic IP radio button, then the IIP address in the next field is not required. [. . . ] Connect the device to your PC using an Ethernet cable, as the firmware cannot be upgraded using the wireless interface. Click on the Browse button to select the firmware and then click on the Upload button. Syslog Logs display a list of events that are triggered on the Ethernet and Wireless interface. This log can be referred when an unknown error occurs on the system or when a report needs to be sent to the technical support department for debugging purposes AGE 69 70 Enable Logging to a Syslog Server: Place a check in this box to enable Syslog logging. Syslog Server IP Address: Specify the IP address of the Syslog server. [. . . ]
