Always On
. Once the Internet connection is established, it
remains active. This is the default setting.
Dial on Demand
. When someone attempts to connect to the
Internet, the Internet connection is established. When the idle
time-out period expires, the Internet connection is terminated.
Manually Connect
.You must connect to the Internet manually
(see
View or Change a TCP/IP Internet Connection
on page 249
or
View or Change a PPPoE or PPPoA Internet Connection
on
page 250).
If you select
Dial on Demand
from the
Connection Mode
menu,
enter the idle time-out period in minutes.
Idle Timeout (Minutes)
The idle time-out specifies how long the
modem router
keeps the
Internet connection active when no one on the network is using the
Internet connection. The default is 5 minutes. To disable the idle
time-out, enter
0
. (When you disable the idle time-out, the connection
is not terminated automatically).
Internet IP Address
or
IPTV IP Address
(depending on your selection in Step 8)
Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address.Your ISP
automatically assigns these addresses.
Get Dynamically from ISP
Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway IP address that
your ISP assigned you for static IP address service. The gateway is
the ISP router to which your
modem router
connects.
Use Static IP Address
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their domain names.
Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers.Your ISP
automatically assigns this address.

If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS
addresses to the
modem router
during login, select this option and

Router MAC Address
The Ethernet MAC address that the
modem router
uses on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the
MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened.They
accept traffic only from the MAC address of that computer.
This feature allows your
modem router
to use your computer’s MAC address (also called cloning).
Use the default MAC address.
Use Default Address
The
modem router
captures and uses the MAC address of the
computer that you are now using.You must use the one computer
that is registered by the ISP.

Enter the MAC address that you want to use. By default, the field
displays the MAC address of the Internet port.

IPv6 Internet Connections and IPv6 Addresses
The
modem router
can support an IPv6 Internet connection through the following connection types:

Auto Detect
. For more information, see

Set Up an IPv6 6to4 Tunnel Connection
on page 87.
Pass-through
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 Pass-Through Connection
on page 89.
Fixed
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 Fixed Connection
on page 90.
DHCP
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 DHCP Connection
on page 92.
PPP over Ethernet
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 PPPoE Connection
on page 94.
Auto Config
. For more information, see
Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto Config
on page
96.
Which connection type you must use depends on your IPv6 ISP. Follow the directions that your IPv6 ISP
gave you.
If your ISP did not provide details, use the 6to4 tunnel connection type (see
Set Up an IPv6 6to4
Tunnel Connection
on page 87).
If you are not sure what type of IPv6 connection the
modem router
uses, use the Auto Detect connection
type, which lets the
modem router
detect the IPv6 type that is in use (see
Set Up an IPv6 Connection
Through Auto Detect
on page 85).
If your Internet connection does not use PPPoE, DHCP, a fixed IP address, or pass-through but is
IPv6, use the Auto Config connection type, which lets the
modem router
autoconfigure its IPv6
connection (see
Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto Config
on page 96).
When you enable IPv6 and select any connection type other than IPv6 pass-through, the
modem router
starts the stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall function on the WAN interface. The
modem router
creates connection records and checks every inbound IPv6 packet. If the inbound packet is not destined
to the
modem router
itself and the
modem router
does not expect to receive such a packet, or the packet
is not in the connection record, the
modem router
blocks this packet. This function works in two modes:
In secured mode, the
modem router
inspects both TCP and UDP packets. In open mode, the
modem
router
inspects UDP packets only.
IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by colons.You
can reduce any four-digit group of zeros within an IPv6 address to a single zero or omit it. The following
errors invalidate an IPv6 address:
More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets
More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet
More than two colons in a row
Set Up an IPv6 Connection Through Auto Detect
If you are not sure what type of IPv6 connection the
modem router
uses, use the Auto Detect connection
type, which lets the
modem router
detect the IPv6 type that is in use.
