identification. Some ISPs will require you to register a MAC address in order to access the Internet.

If you do not wish to re-register the MAC address with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address

you have currently registered with your ISP to the Barricade by clicking the [Clone MAC Address]

button.

NOTE

: If you are unsure of which PC the broadband connection originally set up, contact your ISP

and request they register a new MAC address for your account. Register using the Barricade’s MAC

address which can be found on the STATUS page.

8.2.2 | PPPoE

Some DSL ISPs require a username and password to get online.

This type of connection method is

called PPPoE or Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. If you have been assigned a username and

password from your ISP then you will use this Internet connection option.

Username and Password

: Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by your Internet

Service Provider.

Service Name

: The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by some service

providers.

MTU

: The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) governs the maximum size of the data packets. Leave

this on the default value (1492) unless you have a particular reason to change it.

Connect on Demand

: Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time

for which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for

longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped.

When checked, the [Auto-reconnect] option will automatically re-establish the connection when an

application attempts to access the Internet again.

WARNING

: If you are using an ISP that charges based on the amount of time that you are online,

disable the Auto-Reconnect option and set your Max Idle Time to 2 minutes.
