Router Configuration
The DSL-502G serving as a router has a different role than it does when it is configured to be a bridge. This
section discusses the different menus used for configuration when it serves as a router. The device is configured
as a router when using a connection profile characterized by a PPPoE, PPPoA or IPoA connection.
PPP Configuration (PPPoE & PPPoA)
The first menu displayed is the Router/Bridge Configuration menu. You may access this window at any time by
clicking on the first button in the Configuration folder.
The PPP Configuration menu presents the following user defined parameters:
Connection Profile
Login User Name
Login Password
Authentication
Connect on Demand
Idle Time

Protocol used to confirm the identity of the subscriber. Choose chap (default) or pap
form the drop-down menu.
Select enabled or disabled. When this function is enabled the router will connect any
workstation on your LAN to the Internet upon request. If this function is disabled, it
will be necessary to access this menu and hit the Connect button each time you
want to establish a connection to the WAN or the Internet.
This means that the Router is always connected and able to connect on demand. If
your network account is billed according to the amount of time the Router is actually
connected to the Internet, enter an appropriate Idle Time value (in seconds). This
will disconnect the Router after the WAN connection has been idle for the amount of
time specified. The default value = 0.
