This page displays the WAN IP parameters assigned dynamically by your ISP, including IP
address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, etc. Click the
Renew
button to renew the IP
parameters from your ISP. Click the
Release
button to release the IP parameters.
MTU Size -
The normal
MTU
(Maximum Transmission Unit) value for most Ethernet networks
is 1500 Bytes. It is not recommended that you change the default
MTU Size
unless required
by your ISP.
Use These DNS Servers -
If your ISP gives you one or two DNS addresses, select
Use
These DNS Servers
and enter the primary and secondary addresses into the correct fields.
Otherwise, the DNS servers will be assigned dynamically from your ISP.
Note:
If you find error when you go to a Web site after entering the DNS addresses, it is likely that your
DNS servers are set up improperly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
Get IP with Unicast DHCP -
A few ISPs' DHCP servers do not support the broadcast
applications. If you cannot get the IP Address normally, you can choose this option. (It is
rarely required.)
2.
If your ISP provides a static or fixed IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS setting,
select
Static IP
. The Static IP settings page will appear as shown in Figure 4-8.
Figure 4-8
WAN - Static IP
IP Address -
Enter the IP address in dotted-decimal notation provided by your ISP.
Subnet Mask -
Enter the subnet Mask provided by your ISP in dotted-decimal notation.
Usually, the Sub Mask is 255.255.255.0.

notation provided by your ISP.
3.
If your ISP provides a PPPoE connection, select
PPPoE/Russia PPPoE
option. And you
should enter the following parameters (Figure 4-9):
Figure 4-9
WAN - PPPoE
User Name/Password -
Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP. These
fields are case-sensitive.
Confirm Password -
Re-enter the Password provided by your ISP to ensure the Password
you entered is correct.
Secondary Connection
-
It’s available only for PPPoE Connection. If your ISP provides an
extra Connection type such as Dynamic/Static IP to connect to a local area network, then you
can check the radio button of Dynamic/Static IP to activate this secondary connection.
Disabled
-
The Secondary Connection is disabled by default, so there is PPPoE
connection only. This is recommended.

You can check this radio button to use Static IP as the secondary connection
to connect to the local area network provided by ISP.
Connect on Demand -
In this mode, the Internet connection can be terminated automatically
after a specified inactivity period (
Max Idle Time
) and
be
re-established when you attempt to
access the Internet again.
If you want your Internet connection keeps active all the time,
please enter “0” in the
Max Idle Time
field.
Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want
to have elapsed before your Internet access disconnects.
Connect Automatically -
The connection can be re-established automatically when it was
down.
Time-based Connecting -
The connection will only be established in the period from the
start time to the end time (both are in HH:MM format).
Note:
Only when you have configured the system time on
System Tools -> Time
page, will the
Time-based Connecting
function can take effect.
Connect Manually -
You can click the
Connect
/
Disconnect
button to connect/disconnect
immediately.
This mode also supports the
Max Idle Time
function as
Connect on Demand
mode. The Internet connection can be disconnected automatically after a specified inactivity
period and
re-established when you attempt to access the Internet again.
Caution
: Sometimes the connection cannot be terminated although you specify a time to Max Idle
Time, since some applications are visiting the Internet continually in the background.
If you want to do some advanced configurations, please click the
Advanced
button, and the page
shown in Figure 4-10 will then appear:
