This Internet Broadband Router can be configured using Internet Explorer 4. 0 or newer web browser versions. Login to the Internet Broadband Router Before you configure this device, note that when the Broadband Router is configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure the host PC must be set on the IP subnetwork that can be accessed by the xDSL/Cable modem. For example, when the default network address of the xDSL/Cable modem Ethernet interface is 192. 168. 1. x, then the host PC should be set at 192. 168. 1. xxx (where xxx is a number between 2 and 254), and the default subnet mask is 255. 255. 255. 0. Click on the Connect-on-demand button to dial up to the ISP when only on demand, while there is a need of connecting to the ISP automatically. 18 1-2-4 PPTP If connected to the Internet using a (PPTP) xDSL Modem, enter the PPTP Account Name, PPTP Password, Host Name, Service IP Address, Your IP Address, Your Subnet Mask required by your ISP in the appropriate fields. If your ISP has provided you with a Connection ID, enter it in the Connection ID field, otherwise, leave it zero. The MTU feature specifies the largest packet size permitted for network transmission. Enter the value desired, for most DSL users, it is recommended to use 1460. By default, MTU is set at 1460 The Maximum Idle Time feature can control the connection time while user's need to save the cost of connection fee from ISP provider (default time=0, always connect).

If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the port normally associated with an application in the "Trigger Port" field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then 28 enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) - A method (protocol) used along with the Internet Protocol (Internet Protocol) to send data in the form of message units between computers over the Internet. While IP takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data, TCP takes care of keeping track of the individual units of data (called packets) that a message is divided into for efficient routing through the Internet.
