Setting up Internet access
All computers in the LAN can take advantage of the central Internet
access of the SwyxConnect. The connection to the Internet provider
can be established via the WAN interface which is connected to an
ADSL or cable modem. For models without WAN interface one LAN
interface is configurted as DSLoL interface.
5.0.0.1 Does the setup wizard know your Internet provider?
A convenient wizard is available to help you set up Internet access.
The wizard knows the access information of major Internet providers
and will offer you a list of providers to choose from. If you find your
Internet service provider on this list, you normally will not have to
enter any further transfer parameters to configure your Internet
access. Only the authentication data that are supplied by your
provider are required.
5.0.0.2 Additional information for unknown Internet providers
If the setup wizard does not know your Internet provider, it will
prompt you for all of the required information step by step. Your
provider will supply this information.
• Connection via DSL modem
• Protocol: PPPoE
• Connection via access router with fixed IP address
• Protocol: Plain Ethernet
5.0.0.3 Additional connection options
You may also enable or disable further options in the wizard,
depending on whether or not they are supported by your Internet
provider:
• Time-based billing or flat rate – select the accounting model
used by your Internet provider.
• When using time-based billing, you can set the SwyxConnect
to automatically close existing connections if no data has
been transferred within a specified time (the so-called idle
time).
In addition, you can activate a line monitor that identifies inac-
tive remote stations faster and therefore can close the connection
before the idle time has elapsed.
