Domain name	If your ISP provided a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise, this may be left blank.

IP Address

Also called Dynamic IP Address. This is the default, and the most common. Leave this selected if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the Wireless Router upon connection.

Also called Static IP Address. Select this if your ISP has allocated you a fixed IP Address. If this option is selected, the following data must be entered. IP Address. The IP Address allocated by the ISP. Network Mask (Not required for PPPoE) This is also supplied by your ISP. It must be compatible with the IP Address above.

If required, additional DNS entries can be made on the Internet Options screen.

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 connection)". 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 required, 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 IP Address	If using PPTP or Big Pond Cable, enter the IP address of your ISP's server.
Connect automatically	If Enabled (default), a connection will automatically be made as required. If disabled, you need to establish the connection manually, using the Connect button on the Connection Details screen (accessed from the Status screen).
Disconnect after Idle	Enable this if you wish an idle connection to be terminated. If enabled, enter the idle time-out period (in minutes) in the field provided. After the connection to your ISP has been idle for this time period, the connection will be terminated.

MAC Address

MAC Address

Also called Network Adapter Address or Physical Address. This is a low-level identifier, as seen from the WAN port. Normally there is no need to change this, but some ISPs require a particular value, often that of the PC initially used for Internet access. You can use the Copy from PC button to copy your PC's address into this field, the Default button to insert the default value, or enter a value directly.
