WAN - PPTP
Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a service that applies to connections in Europe only.
If your DSL provider says that you are connecting through PPTP, perform these steps:
a. Enter the PPTP Account
b. Enter the PPTP Password
c. Reenter the PPTP Password
d. Enter the Host Name if your ISP requires it.
e. Enter Service IP Address. Your ISP will provide you with the Service IP Address.
f. Enter My IP Address. This is the Router’s IP address, when seen from the Internet. Your ISP will
provide you with the IP Address you need to specify here.
g. Enter My Subnet Mask. This is the Router’s subnet mask, as seen by external users on the Internet.
Your ISP will provide you with the subnet mask.
h. Enter the Connection ID if your ISP requires it, or leave it blank.
i. Keep the value of MTU as default setting.
Note: MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is the largest frame size that can be transmitted over the
network. Messages longer than the MTU must be divided into smaller frames.
j. To change the maximum idle time, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how long the
Router keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Enter a
value of zero means never log out.
k. By checking the box next to Auto-reconnect, the Router will automatically connect to Internet if you
are disconnected.
Important: If you enable PPTP, remember to remove any PPTP applications already installed on any of
your PCs.
