Follow the instructions below according to the encapsulation method and whether your

Internet connection requires a login. The following methods are available:

•

Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoE

•

Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoA

•

Internet Connection Does Not Require a Login

6.

Usually the default ADSL Settings work fine for most ISPs and you can skip this step. If you

have any problems with your connection, check the ADSL Settings. See

“ADSL Settings“ on

page -5

for more details.

Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoE

1.

If your Internet connection

does

require login, select Yes and fill in the settings according to

the instructions below.

Note

: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer in order to

access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your modem automatically logs

you in.

2.

Choose PPPoE for the encapsulation method your ISP uses.

3.

Enter the login name (frequently the email address your ISP provided), password, and service

name (if required).

4.

If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how

long the modem keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the

LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of zero means never log out.

5.

The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.

•

Select “Get Automatically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address.

Your ISP will automatically assign this address.

•

Select “Use These DNS Servers” if your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses. Type

the primary and secondary addresses.

Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoA
