Maximum Idle Time A value of 0 means that the PPP connection will remain connected. If your network account is billed according to the amount of time the Router is actually connected to the Internet, enter an appropriate Idle Time value (in seconds). This will disconnect the Router after the WAN connection has been idle for the amount of time specified. The default value = 5. MTU Enter an MTU value only if required by your ISP. Otherwise, leave it at the default setting. Connect Mode This function, with Connect-on-demand selected, will allow the router to connect any workstation on your LAN to the Internet upon request. If this function is set at Always-on, no request from the workstation will be needed to connect to the Internet. If Manual is selected, it will be necessary for the workstation on the LAN to manually connect to the Internet through this router. HOME > WAN > Other>L2TP Some ISPs may require the user to uplink using the Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling (L2TP) method. L2TP is a VPN protocol that will ensure a direct connection to the server using an authentication process that guarantees the data originated from the claimed sender and was not damaged or altered in transit. Once connected to the VPN tunnel, it seems to the user that the client computer is directly connected to the internal network. To set up your L2TP connection, enter the following data that was provided to you by your ISP. L2TP IP Address Subnet Mask Gateway Server IP L2TP Account L2TP Password Choose between Dynamic and Static IP. Using Dynamic IP, the router will set your basic IP parameters, such as the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. For Static IP, this information must be set manually by the user.
