Chapter 5 Using Network Connections For each compression algorithm (BSD and Deflate), select one of the following from the drop-down list: Reject Selecting this option rejects PPP connections with peers that use the compression algorithm. If Reject is activated, throughput may diminish. Allow Selecting this option allows PPP connections with peers that use the compression algorithm. Require Selecting this option insures a connection with a peer using the compression algorithm. Internet Protocol Select one of the following Internet Protocol options from the "Internet Protocol" drop-down list: Obtain an IP Address Automatically This option is selected by default. Change only if required by the ISP. The server that assigns the Router with an IP address also assigns a subnet mask. Override the dynamically assigned subnet mask by selecting the "Override Subnet Mask" and entering a different subnet mask. Use the Following IP Address Select this option to configure the Router to use a permanent (static) IP address. The ISP should provide this address. DNS Server The Domain Name System (DNS) is the method by which website or domain names are translated into IP addresses. The Router can be configured to automatically obtain a DNS server address, or the address can be entered manually, according to the information provided by the ISP. To configure the connection to automatically obtain a DNS server address, select Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically from the "DNS Server" drop-down list. To manually configure DNS server addresses, select Use the Following DNS Server Addresses from the "DNS Server" drop-down list. Up to two different DNS server addresses can be entered (Primary and Secondary). 69

Chapter 5
Using Network Connections
For each compression algorithm (
BSD
and
Deflate
), select one of the following
from the drop-down list:
Reject
Selecting this option rejects
PPP
connections with peers that use the com-
pression algorithm. If Reject is activated, throughput may diminish.
Allow
Selecting this option allows
PPP
connections with peers that use the com-
pression algorithm.
Require
Selecting this option insures a connection with a peer using the com-
pression algorithm.
Internet Protocol
Select one of the following Internet Protocol options from the “Internet
Protocol” drop-down list:
Obtain an IP Address Automatically
This option is selected by default. Change only
if required by the
ISP
. The server that assigns the Router with an
IP
address also
assigns a subnet mask. Override the dynamically assigned subnet mask by selecting
the “Override Subnet Mask” and entering a different subnet mask.
Use the Following IP Address
Select this option to configure the Router to use a
permanent (static) IP address. The
ISP
should provide this address.
DNS Server
The Domain Name System (
DNS
) is the method by which website or domain
names are translated into
IP
addresses. The Router can be configured to auto-
matically obtain a
DNS
server address, or the address can be entered manually,
according to the information provided by the
ISP
.
To configure the connection to automatically obtain a
DNS
server address, select
Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically
from the “
DNS
Server” drop-down
list. To manually configure
DNS
server addresses, select
Use the Following DNS
Server Addresses
from the “
DNS
Server” drop-down list. Up to two different
DNS
server addresses can be entered (Primary and Secondary).
