• Manually Connect – You must go to the Router Status screen and click the Connect
button in order to connect to the Internet. The manual connection does not time out
and you must click the Disconnect button on the Router Status screen to disconnect
the router.
• Idle Timeout: An idle Internet connection will be terminated after this time period.
If this value is zero (0), then the connection will be "kept alive" by re-connecting
immediately whenever the connection is lost.
• If you selected the No radio box, enter the following information (if required):
– Account Name (also called the Host Name of System Name). For most users, this is your
account name or user name. For example, if your main account is JSmith@ISP.com, then
enter JSmith in this field. If your ISP has given you a specific Host Name, then enter that
name in the Account Name field.
– Domain Name. Unless required by your ISP, you may leave this field blank. Some ISPs
require the domain name of the ISP be entered in this field; for example, if the ISP mail
server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, you would enter that name in the Domain Name field.
• Internet IP Address:
– If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed IP address, the
router will find an IP address for you automatically when you connect. Select the Get
Dynamically from ISP radio box.
– If you have a fixed (static, permanent) IP address, your ISP will have provided you with an
IP address. Select Use Static IP Address and enter the IP Address in the fields provided.
For example:
IP Address: 24.218.156.183
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address: 24.218.156.1
• Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: The DNS server is used to look up site addresses
based on their names.
– Select Get Automatically From ISP if your ISP has not provided DNS addresses.
