L2TP
Specify WAN IP Address
Configure a static IP address. The IP address
could be one issued by an L2TP server.
Subnet Mask
Input the subnet mask of the static IP address.
Default Gateway
Input the IP address of the L2TP server.
Username
Input the username of the L2TP client.
Password
Input the password of the L2TP client.
Connect on Demand
Enables auto-dialing for a dial connection. When
the client port tries to connect to the Internet,
the device will automatically connect with the
L2TPserver. When the network has been idle
for a period of time, the system will break the
connection automatically. (The default time for
automatic connection break is five minutes).
Keep Alive
Enables
the
dial
connection
to
redial
automatically
when
disconnected.
Set
the
redialing time (default is 30 seconds).
MTU
Choose Auto or Manual. Default setting is Auto.
The default manual setting value is 1500 bytes. A
different value could be set in a different network
environment (e.g., ADSL PPPoE MTU: 1492).
Transparent Bridge:
The feature will come in handy in when a company wants to add a firewall or
dual-WAN device without changing the IP addresses of the computers in its
intranet. This function will enable users to integrate existing networks without
changing the original structure. Select the Transparent Bridge mode for the
WAN connection mode. In this way, users will be able to connect normally to
the Internet while keeping the original IP addresses in the intranet.
If there are two WANs configured, users still can select Transparent Bridge
mode for WAN connection mode, and load balancing will still function as usual.
SpecifyWANIPAddress:
Input one of the static IP addresses issued by ISP.
SubnetMask:
Input the subnet mask of the static IP addresses
issued by your ISP:
255.255.255.248 if your ISP
issues six usable addresses, and 255.255.255.240 if
your ISP issues 14 useable addresses.
DefaultGateway:
Input the default gateway of the static IP address
issued by your ISP. For ADSL users, it is usually an
ATU-R IP address.
DNSServer:
Input the DNS IP address set by your ISP. At least
one IP group should be input. The maximum
acceptable is two IP groups.
InternalLANIPRange:
Input the available IP range issued by your ISP.
If your ISP issued two discontinuous IP address
ranges, users can input them into Internal LAN IP
Range 1 and Internal LAN IP Range 2, respectively.
MTU
(MaximumTransmission
Unit):
Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. Default is “Auto.” The
default value is 1500. Different value could be
set in different network environment (e.g., ADSL
PPPoE MTU: 1492).
