Login
Login Method
If your ISP does not use a login method (username, password) for
Internet access, leave this at the default value "None (Direct connec-
tion)"
Otherwise, check the documentation from your ISP, select the login
method used, and enter the required data.
• PPPoE - this is the most common login method, widely used
with DSL modems. Normally, your ISP will have provided some
software to connect and login. This software is no longer re-
quired, and should not be used.
• PPTP - this is mainly used in Europe. You need to know the
PPTP Server address as well as your name and password.
• Big Pond Cable - for Australia only.
• SingTel RAS - for Singapore only.
Login User Name
The User Name (or account name) provided by your ISP.
Login Password
Enter the password for the login name above.
RAS Plan
For SingTel customers only, select the RAS plan you are on.
Server Address
If using PPTP or Big Pond Cable, enter the address of your ISP's
server.
For PPPoE or SingTel RAS, the Server address in not required.
Connection
behavior
Select the desired option:
• Automatic Connect/Disconnect
An Internet connection is automatically made when required, and
disconnected when idle for the time period specified by the
"Auto-disconnect Idle Time-out".
• Manual Connect/Disconnect
You must manually establish and terminate the connection.
• Keep alive (maintain connection)
The connection will never be disconnected by this device. If dis-
connected by your ISP, the connection will be re-established
immediately. (However, this does not ensure that your Internet IP
address will remain unchanged.)
Auto-disconnect
Idle Time-out
This field has no effect unless the setting above is Automatic Con-
nect/Disconnect.
If Auto-disconnect is being used, enter the desired idle time-out
period (in minutes). After the connection to your ISP has been idle for
this time period, the connection will be terminated.
