Configuring Your Internet Connection
Manually
Your Gateway allows you to set up connection profiles for PPP authentication with your ISP. A connection profile
contains your account ID and password (provided by your ISP), and several connection options that you can specify
for your profile. The account ID and password are used for each connection profile that you set up. Connection
profiles can be associated with specific service settings, such as firewall settings or NAT services, enabling you to
customize your Gateway for specific users.
IMPORTANT:
Before setting up a connection profile, confirm that you have an Account ID and Account Password
from your ISP.
To connect to the Internet manually by setting up a PPPoE connection profile, please follow these steps:
1.
Go to the
Home
page, and click the
Add/Edit Connection
link in the
Broadband Connection

This means that you do not have an Internet
connection.

Confirming Your Internet Connection
If you clicked the
Save
button in the
Edit
or
New Connection
window, the following screen will appear.
Click the
Connect
button, and wait a brief moment while the Gateway connects to the Internet. The
Status
field will
display UP once an Internet connection has been established.
NOTE:
If your Gateway’s connection setting is set to Always On or On Demand, after a brief delay, the Internet
connection will be established automatically; however, if the connection setting is set to Manual, you must click the
Connect
button in the
Connection
screen to establish an Internet connection.
Additional ways to confirm your Internet connection are:
In the
Broadband Connection
panel of the
Home
page, view the
Internet
field. If the status reads
Not
Connected
, you do not have a DSL link. However, if the
Internet
field displays
Connected
and the
Speed
(Down/Up)
field displays numeric values, a DSL link has been established. The values displayed represent
the transmission rates of your DSL signal (downstream and upstream). You may need to wait a brief
moment for the Gateway to report these values.
At the top of the Gateway, check to see if the
DSL
LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the
Gateway’s DSL connection has been established. (The
DSL
LED may flash while the connection is being
established.) Please wait a brief moment for the Gateway to connect.
