EtherFast Cable/DSL VPN Router with 4-Port 10/100 Switch
Connection Type: Heart Beat Signal
Heart Beat Signal is a service used in Australia only. If you are using a Heart Beat Signal connection, check
with your ISP for the necessary setup information.
User Name and Password. Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP.
Heart Beat Server. This is the IP address that the Router has, when seen from the Internet. Your ISP will
provide you with the IP Address you need to specify here.
Connect on Demand and Max Idle Time. You can configure the Router to cut your connection with your ISP
after a specified period of time (Max Idle Time). If you have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on
Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access
the Internet again. If you wish to activate Connect on Demand, click the radio button. If you want your Internet
connection to remain on at all times, enter 0 in the Max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number of
minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet access disconnects.
Keep Alive Option and Redial Period. This option keeps your PPPoE-enabled Internet access connected
indefinitely, even when it sits idle. To use this option, click the radio button next to Keep Alive. The default
Redial Period is 30 seconds.
Host Name/Domain Name. Enter a Host Name and Domain Name if required by your ISP.
MTU. The MTU option specifies the largest packet size permitted for network transmission. Select Manual if
you do not want the Router to regulate this packet size (otherwise, leave it set at Automatic) and enter the
value desired. You should leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. Most DSL users should use the default
of 1400.
When you are finished, click the Save Settings button. Then click the Status tab, and click the Connect
button to start the connection.
