are case sensitive. If you wish to change the login time-out, enter a new value in minutes.

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 will automatically log you

in.

Next, enter the Idle Time-out value in minutes

.

PPPoE and PPPoA will authenticate with the network when you have data to

transmit.The modem will stay connected until you stop transmitting and will then wait

for the login time-out to expire before disconnecting.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Address:

Usually the “Get Automatically from ISP” setting will work.

If your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the modem during login, select

“Use these DNS servers” and enter the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a

Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it also.

4.

If your ISP requires Multiplexing and Virtual Circuit configuration, enter those parameters.

These values are factory set but you should verify that they are correct for your ISP. Use the

modem’s built in Web Configuration Manager to set these parameters as needed.

5.

Click on Apply.

Your modem is now configured to provide Internet access for your computer. When your PC is

configured correctly, your modem automatically accesses the Internet when your computer

requires access. It is not necessary to run a dialer or login application such as Dial-Up Networking

or Enternet to connect, log in, or disconnect. These functions are performed automatically by the

modem.

Configuring the Modem in Modem Device Mode

for a Fixed (Static) TCP/IP Account

If your Internet service account uses Fixed TCP/IP assignment, you will use the modem in Modem

Device Mode.
