Nighthawk X4S AC2600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D7800 Field Connection Mode Description Select how the Internet connection functions: • Always On. Once the Internet connection is established, it remains active. This is the default setting. • Dial on Demand. When someone attempts to connect to the Internet, the Internet connection is established. When the idle time-out period expires, the Internet connection is terminated. • Manually Connect. You must connect to the Internet manually (see View, Establish, or Terminate the PPPoE or PPPoA Internet Connection on page 232). Idle Timeout (In Minutes) If you select Dial on Demand from the Connection Mode menu, enter the idle time-out period in minutes. The idle time-out specifies how long the modem router keeps the Internet connection active when no one on the network is using the Internet connection. The default is 5 minutes. To disable the idle time-out, enter 0. (When you disable the idle time-out, the connection is not terminated automatically.) Internet IP Address Get Dynamically from ISP Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP automatically assigns these addresses. Use Static IP Address Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway IP address that your ISP assigned you for static IP address service. The gateway is the ISP router to which your modem router connects. Domain Name Server (DNS) Address The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their domain names. Get Automatically from ISP Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your ISP automatically assigns this address. Use These DNS Servers If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the modem router during login, select this option and enter the IP address of your ISP primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also. Router MAC Address The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on the Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your computer's MAC address (also called cloning). Use Default Address Use the default MAC address. Manage the Internet Settings Manually 58
