Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 User Manual
Description
This is usually the name that you use in your email address. For
example, if your main mail account is JerAB@ISP.com, then put
JerAB in this field.
Some ISPs (such as Mindspring, Earthlink, and T-DSL) require
that you use your full email address when you log in. If your ISP
requires your full email address, then type it in the Login field.
Type the password that you use to log in to your ISP.
If your ISP provided a service name, enter it here. Otherwise, this
can be left blank.
Set the connection mode to Dial on Demand, Always On, or
Manually Connect.
With the default setting, Dial on Demand, a PPPoE
•
connection automatically starts when there is outbound traffic
to the Internet, and it automatically terminates if the
connection is idle based on the value in the Idle Timeout field.
When the connection mode is set to Always On, the PPPoE
•
connection automatically starts when the computer boots up,
but the connection does not time out. The router will keep
trying to bring up the connection if it is disconnected for some
reason.
If you select Manually Connect, you must go to the Router
•
Status screen and click the Connect button to connect to the
Internet. The manual connection does not time out, and you
have to click the Disconnect button on the Router Status
screen to disconnect it.
An idle Internet connection will be terminated after this time
period. If this value is zero (0), then the router will keep the
connection alive by reconnecting immediately whenever the
connection is lost.
If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a
fixed IP address, the router finds an IP address for you
automatically when you connect. Select Get Dynamically from
ISP.
If you have a fixed (static, permanent) IP address, your ISP has
provided you with an IP address. Select Use Static IP Address
and type in the IP address.
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their
names.
If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select Use
•
These DNS Servers and type the primary and secondary
addresses.
Otherwise, select Get Automatically From ISP.
•
Note: If you get "Address not found" errors when you go to a
website, it is likely that your DNS servers are not set up correctly.
You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
