Authentication Protocol:

Default is Chap (Auto). Your ISP will advise you whether to use Chap or Pap

.

Connection:

±

Always on:

If you want the router to establish a PPPoE session when starting up and to

automatically re-establish the PPPoE session when disconnected by the ISP.

±

Connect on Demand:

If you want to establish a PPPoE session only when there is a packet

requesting access to the Internet (i.e. when a program on your computer attempts to access the

Internet).

Idle Timeout:

Auto-disconnect the broadband firewall gateway when there is no activity on the line for a

predetermined period of time.

±

Detail:

You can define the destination port and packet type (TCP/UDP) without checking by timer.

It allows you to set which outgoing traffic will not trigger and reset the idle timer.

RIP:

RIP v1, RIP v2, and RIP v2 Multicast. Check to enable RIP function.

MTU:

Maximum Transmission Unit. The size of the largest datagram (excluding media-specific headers)

that IP will attempt to send through the interface.

TCP MSS Clamp:

This option helps to discover the optimal MTU size automatically. Default is enabled.

MAC Address Spoofing:

This option is required by some service providers. You must fill in the MAC

address that specify by service provider when it is required. Default is disabled.

PPPoE with Pass-through Connections

PPPoE with pass-through adapts the following method: PPPoE Routed mode + 1483 Bridge Mode. With

pure PPPoE connection, the router can get one WAN address to the router.

With the PPPoE and

PPPoE pass-through, concurrently, it allows user to have a WAN address assigned to the router but also

able to get another WAN IP from ISP using PPPoE dialer (e.g WinPoETor Windows XP PPPoE Dialer)

at the same time.

Description:

User-definable name for this connection.

VPI/VCI:

Enter the information provided by your ISP.

ATM Class:

The Quality of Service for ATM layer.

NAT:

The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature allows multiple users to access the Internet

through a single ISP account, sharing a single IP address. If users on your LAN have public IP

addresses and can access the Internet directly, the NAT function can be disabled.

Username:

Enter the username provided by your ISP. You can input up to

128

alphanumeric characters

(case sensitive). This will usually be in the format of “username@ispname” instead of simply

“username”.

Password:

Enter the password provided by your ISP. You can input up to

128

alphanumeric characters

(case sensitive).

Service Name:

This item is for identification purposes. If it is required, your ISP will provide you the

information. Maximum input is

20

alphanumeric characters.

IP Address:

specify if the Router can get an IP address from the Internet Server Provider (ISP)

automatically or not. Please click Obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP client to enable the

DHCP client function or click Specify an IP address to disable the DHCP client function, and specify the

IP address manually. The setting of this item is specified by your ISP.

DNS

A Domain Name System (DNS) contains a mapping table for domain name and IP addresses. On the

Internet, every host has a unique and user-friendly name (domain name) such as www.helloworld.com

and an IP address. An IP address is a 32-bit number in the form of

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

, for example

192.168.0.254. You can think of an IP address as a telephone number for devices on the Internet, and

the DNS will allow you to find the telephone number for any particular domain name. As an IP Address is

hard to remember, the DNS converts the friendly name into its equivalent IP Address.

You can obtain a Domain Name System (DNS) IP address automatically if your ISP has provided it

when you logon, check the

Enable

box. Usually when you choose PPPoE or PPPoA as your WAN - ISP

protocol, the ISP will provide the DNS IP address automatically. You may leave the configuration field

blank.

Alternatively, your ISP may provide you with an IP address of their DNS. If this is the case, you must

enter the DNS IP address manually.

If you choose one of the other three protocols

±

RFC1483 Routed/Bridged check with your ISP, it may

provide you with an IP address for their DNS server. You must enter the DNS IP address if you set the

DNS of your PC to the LAN IP address of this router.

ADSL

Connect Mode:

This mode will automatically detect your ADSL line code, ADSL2+, ADSL2, G.dmt,

G.lite, T1.413, AnnexM2 and AnnexM2+. But in some area, multimode cannot detect the ADSL line code

well. If it is the case, please adjust the ADSL line code to G.dmt or T1.413 first. If it still fails, please try

the other values such as ALCTL, ADI, etc.

If you still having trouble with the line, please check with your

ISP for line connect information.

Note:

If you have subscribed ADSL1 T1.413 mode line, you may go to the Advanced Options for more connection

module combinations.

Activate Line:

Aborting (false) your ADSL line and making it active (true) again for taking effect with

setting of

Connect Mode

.

Coding Gain:

It reduces router’s transmit power which will effect to router’s downstream performance.

Higher the gain will increase the downstream rate but it sometimes causes unstable ADSL line. The

configurable ADSL coding gain is from 0 dB to 7dB, or automatic.

Tx Attenuation:

It is the ADSL transmission power that the modem is using. The lower the power the

better performance in router’s upstream.

Configurable value is between 0~12.

DSP FirmwareVersion:

Current ADSL line code firmware version.

Connected:

Display current ADSL line sync status.

Operational Mode:

Display current ADSL mode standard (Operational Mode) your Router is using

when ADSL line has sync.

Annex Type:

ADSL Annex A, which works over a standard telephone line. Annex B, which works over

an ISDN line.
