Configuring Basic Connectivity 1-10
v1.0, February 2010
– PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol), used primarily in Austrian DSL services
– Telstra Bigpond, an Australian residential cable modem service
– PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet), the protocol used by most DSL services
worldwide.
• Login and Password. This is the user name and password provided by your ISP. This name
and password are used to log in to the ISP server.
• Service Name. If your connection is capable of connecting to multiple Internet services, this
setting specifies which service to use.
• Connection Mode. This drop-down list (shown in Figure 1-7 on page 1-9) selects when the
router will connect to and disconnect from the Internet. The list includes:
– Always On. The router logs in to the Internet immediately after booting and never
disconnects.
– Dial on Demand. The router logs in only when outgoing traffic is present and logs out
after the idle time-out.
– Manually Connect. The router logs in or logs out only when the user clicks Connect or
Disconnect in the Router Status screen.
Note: The Telstra Bigpond setting is only for older cable modem service
accounts still requiring a Bigpond login utility. Telstra has
discontinued this type of account. Those with Telstra DSL accounts
and newer cable modem accounts should select No for Does Your
Internet Connection Require a Login.

Note: Not all ISPs are listed here. The ones on this list have special
requirements.
