Trendware's TVP-224HR VoIP Gateway Router has been designed to meet the demands of a wide range of network environments. It can be configured to use a fixed IP, obtain IP from a DHCP server, or establish a PPPoE connection for Internet access.

Fixed IP: If a fixed IP address is assigned by your ISP; please enter the IP address, subnet mask and the gateway address provided by the ISP.

DHCP Client: The WAN port is connected to a cable modem or a LAN with DHCP service provided. In this case, the WAN port will automatically obtain its IP address from the DHCP server. The Host Name is optional, but may be required by some Service Provider's. The default MAC address is set to the WAN's physical interface on the TVP-224HR. If required by your Service Provider, use the "Clone MAC Address" button to copy the MAC address of the Network Interface Card installed in your PC and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC address.

PPPoE: WAN port is connected to an xDSL modem. In this case, many service providers will provide PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) service. TVP-224HR supports connection on demand and auto-reconnect features for the PPPoE service. If there is Internet requests from LAN side workstations, the PPPoE connection will be initialized; after an Idle Timeout, when no Internet traffic is requested, the PPP connection will automatically disconnect. Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by your Service Provider.

Service Name: is normally optional, but may be required by some service providers.

Idle Timeout: Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, then it will be dropped.

Transmit Bandwidth: TVP-224HR implements a bandwidth regulation algorithm over its PPPoE interface. This algorithm is enabled, when PPPoE client is enabled, for guaranteeing enough bandwidth is reserved for voice packets.
