'VPI', 'VCI' are data about your Internet connection, which you obtain 
from your ISP.
'DHCP Client': WAN-side; can be enabled and disabled. 
'Host Name': This is the name that the router sends the DHCP server 
when making DHCP queries.   
'MAC Spoofing': WAN-side 'MAC Address'; can be entered manually. 
The MAC address (Media Access Control) is a serial number and unique. It is 
programmed into the hardware and cannot be changed. The router has three 
MAC addresses; one for the local cabled network (LAN), one for the Internet 
(WAN) and one for the local network using the electric wiring (dLAN). The 
MAC addresses for the LAN and WAN can be taken from the configuration 
software. The MAC address for dLAN can be found on the underside of the 
router.
'Static IP Settings': Whether you work with dynamic or static IP addres-
ses depends on your agreement with your ISP. Normally, IP addresses are 
assigned dynamically, i.e. a new one is assigned each time you connect. 
'IP Address', 'Gateway' and 'Subnet Mask' are data about your Inter-
net connection, which you obtain from your ISP. 
'PPP' is a connection protocol.
'Service Name', 'User Name', 'Password' are data about your Internet 
connection, which you obtain from your ISP.
'Disconnect Timeout': This function (default setting: '5') lets you set a 
time limit so that you can control your connection charges and reduce 
costs based on time. If the router does not receive any data packets 
for the amount of time specified by the idle time setting, it automati-
cally disconnects from the Internet server. As soon as it receives a 
request to connect after disconnecting automatically, it automatically 
reestablishes a connection (if you have enabled the option 'Recon-
nect on Internet access'). 
The 'Timeout Configuration' link will take you directly to the 'PPP Disconnect 
Timeout'. For more information go to the section “Advanced configuration” 
on page 17. 
In the interests of cost control, ensure that you do not have Internet services 
such as e-mail clients, file sharing services or news tickers enabled in your 
local network, as these will periodically access the Internet. If you have flat-
rate service from your Internet provider (unlimited online time without addi-
