Chapter 5 Network Tab your Internet connection is expected to remain active all the time, enter 0 in the Idle Time field. Users those pay by time for their Internet access can choose this mode to save their Internet-access fee. NOTE: Sometimes the connection cannot be disconnected although you specify a time to Idle Time (0~99 minutes) because some applications visit the Internet continually in the background. Automatic - Connect automatically after the device is disconnected. Users those are charged a flat monthly fee can choose this mode. Manual - You can configure the device to make it connect or disconnect manually. After a specified period of inactivity (Idle Time), the device will disconnect your Internet connection, and you must click Connect manually to access the Internet again. If you want your Internet connection to remain active all the times, enter 0 in the Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the desired Idle Time in minutes you wish to use. Users those pay by time for their Internet access can choose this mode to save their Internet-access fee. Secondary Connection If your ISP provides a Connection type such as Dynamic/Static IP to connect to a local area network, you can activate this secondary connection. Dynamic IP - Use dynamic IP address to connect to the local area network provided by ISP. Static IP - Use static IP address to connect to the local area network provided by ISP. MTU Size The default MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) size is 1460 bytes in L2TP and 1420 bytes in PPTP, which is usually fine. For some ISPs, you need modify the MTU. This should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP. WAN MAC Address This field displays the current MAC address of the WAN port, which is used for the WAN port. If your ISP requires that you register the MAC address, please enter the correct MAC address into this field. The format for the MAC Address is XX-XXXX-XX-XX-XX (X is any hexadecimal digit). Click Restore Factory MAC to restore the MAC address of WAN port to the factory default value. Your PC's MAC Address This field displays the MAC address of the PC that is managing the router. If the MAC address is required, you can click Clone PC's MAC to set the WAN MAC address the same as your management PC's MAC. Click Connect to connect immediately. Click Disconnect to disconnect immediately. You can check and control the status of WAN connection on Monitor > Dynamic WAN page. - 43 -
