5: Customizing Router Settings

This section provides you with the information and procedures to customize various settings on your

SpeedStream router. For ease of reference, each topic presents in the order you see it on the main menu

under

Setup

. The

►

line beneath the topic heading indicates that location in the main menu.

Important!

Many of these procedures require a mid- to advanced-level understanding of networking

principles. If unsure, contact your Service Provider for assistance. Should it become necessary to return

the router to the default settings, you can reset the modem as detailed on page 92.

PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol)

►

Setup |

PPP

PPP is a single or multi-link interface between two packet switching devices, such as a bridge or router.

PPP has built-in negotiation for addresses and connection parameters and can route multiple protocols

over a single link. One benefit of using PPP is it offers interoperability of multi-vendor equipment as well

as support for dynamic configuration between the connecting devices.

When you first log in to the management interface, you will be required to set up a PPP connection. On

subsequent logins, you may add, change or delete PPP connections from the main menu.

PPP Configuration Options

The user name and password fields on the

PPP Setup

window are required; all other fields are optional

for PPPoE connections. Contact your service provider for the requested information.

•

Access Concentrator:

Enter the name of the access concentrator as provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

•

Service Name:

Enter the service name provided by your ISP.

•

Autoconnect on Disconnect:

If you select Save Settings on Connect on the Administrative User Setup window, the router will

attempt to login every time the DSL trains (connects).

•

Idle Timeout (with time value):

Select to disconnect the PPP session if the router has had no traffic for the specified amount of time.

Enter the time in minutes.

This cannot be used with
