Configure a static IP address

2014-05-12T13:25:09Z

Chris: /* Router Setup */

Using a static IP address gives you more control over your IT infrastructure and very useful instead of using dynamic DNS services if you are hosting email or other web services.
The requirements of using a static IP address are:

# An Imaginet Uncapped or Home Uncapped ADSL account.
# Any router/server/software capable of terminating an L2TP connection.
# An Imaginet static IP package

==Router Setup==

# Go to the VPN settings on your router or use server software
# Find the L2TP section (Fig. 1) [[file:L2tp IS.png |thumb|right|Fig. 1]]
# Enter the following authentication details:
# L2TP Service IP: 196.35.63.107 ( use your allocated IP address)
# Enter your Username and Password provided

'''Router configuration'''

The IP address must be configured as follows in your router (Fig. 2):
[[file:SIP5.jpg |thumb|right|Fig. 2]]

Protocol: L2TP VPN
Type of connection: dial-out
Server IP address: 196.35.63.107
Connection type: Remote access
Username: yourusername@imaginet.co.za
Password: yourDSLpassword
Authentication type: PAP
Tunnel authentication: disable
Activate as default route: yes
Remote host name: (leave blank)
Local host name: (leave blank)
IPSec: not enabled
Authentication: None
Encryption: NULL
Perfect forward secrecy: None

When to upgrade your hosting

2014-04-09T08:16:07Z

Chris:

An email will be sent to your primary contact address as soon as your traffic allocation is reached, indicating that a surcharge of R0.19 per mb will apply for any additional traffic. Please see the table below which lists the hosting packages that are offered, their traffic allowances and the “break-even” point, being the point where an upgrade will become more cost effective than paying for excess traffic.

Hosting traffic can be monitored through your [http://my.imaginet.co.za MyDot] control panel, and packages can be upgraded through the control panel or by sending an email to info@imaginet.co.za. Upgrading your package will increase your traffic allowance, and if your traffic falls within the allocated allowance, no surcharge fee will apply. If you upgrade your package during the course of any month, your next invoice will include a “Price Difference” fee, being the difference in price between the previous package and the package that has been upgraded to. You can elect to upgrade your package at the start of the following month to avoid this fee and elect to pay for excess traffic instead.

When to upgrade your hosting

2014-04-09T07:28:12Z

Chris:

You will be notified once 90% of your hosting traffic allowance has been reached by an email sent to your primary contact email address. If you would like to add further technical contacts to be notified of excess traffic usage you can setup additional contacts and notifications in [http://my.imaginet.co.za My[Dot]]. Its not always recommended to upgrade immediately. The following tables below list the types of hosting package, and the usage "break-even" point. If a particular package's usage exceeds its "break-even" volume of traffic, an upgrade is recommended.

If you upgrade before the 25th of the billing month, you will be charged in arrears the difference between the hosting package you upgraded to aswell the difference between hosting traffic allowance, instead of paying the surcharge.

Configure a static IP address

Chris:

Using a static IP address gives you more control over your IT infrastructure and very useful instead of using dynamic DNS services if you are hosting email or other web services.
The requirements of using a static IP address are:

# An Imaginet ADSL account.
# Any router/server/software capable of terminating an L2TP connection.
# An Imaginet static IP package

'''Router Setup'''

# Go to the VPN settings on your router or use server software
# Find the L2TP section (Fig. 1) [[file:L2tp IS.png |thumb|right|Fig. 1]]
# Enter the following authentication details:
# L2TP Service IP: 196.211.xxx.xxx ( use your allocated IP address)
# Enter your Username and Password provided

'''Router configuration'''

The IP address must be configured as follows in your router (Fig. 2):
[[file:SIP5.jpg |thumb|right|Fig. 2]]

Protocol: L2TP VPN
Type of connection: dial-out
Server IP address: 196.211.xxx.xxx (this is a fixed IP address that you must supply)

What is VDSL

2013-08-28T13:53:44Z

Chris:

VDSL (very-high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) is the next generation broadband Telkom offering. 
The service has been rolled out during the first quarter of 2013 by upgrading older DSLAMS to newer 
MSANS in major metropolitan areas within South Africa. 

Speeds offered through VDSL broadband are either 20 Mbits/sec and 40 Mbits/sec, a major upgrade in broadband speeds, 
up to 4 times faster than regular DSL. 
 
VDSL still uses the existing copper infrastructure that ADSL runs over, but from your local exchange connecting 
to the Internet cloud VDSL enabled service uses fibre optic lines, thus increases capacity and reducing latency. 

Clients can make us of Imaginet's Per GB or Uncapped packages on VDSL. Special VDSL uncapped packages have also been created: 
20Mbps and 40Mbps these include 1GB free wifi.
