Modifying Broadband Connection Settings
The Broadband Connection panel allows you to modify your broadband connection.
1.
From the Connection Type drop-down menu, select the connection type: PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct IP (DHCP
or Static), or Routed IPoA.
If you connect via PPPoE or PPPoA, proceed to step 2. If you connect via Direct IP or Routed IPoA,
proceed to step 5. Direct IP and Routed IPoA connections do not require a user name or password.
2.
In the Username field, enter your user name.
3.
In the Password field, enter your password.
4.
In the Confirm Password field, re-enter your password.
5.
In the PPP on Demand field, enter a value for the length of time you wish the PPP session to remain
active.
If the value is set to 0, the PPP session will not time-out (it will be always-on). If the value is between 1
to 10080 minutes, the PPP session will time-out if the gateway doesn’t detect outbound traffic destined
for the Internet in the specified time.

Enabling Hostname Override
In the DHCP Host Name field, enter the DHCP host name you want the gateway to use. This field is only
relevant if your ISP uses DHCP host name authentication.
Modifying the Broadband IP

manually configure your Internet address settings.
1.
Click the
Manually configure IP address settings
radio button.

In the IP address field, enter the IP address you want the gateway to use.
