Pptp - Edimax BR-6204WG User Manual

Connection Type If you select "Continuous", the router will always
connect to the ISP. If the WAN line breaks down and
links again, the router will auto-reconnect to the ISP.
If you select "Connect On Demand", the router will
auto-connect to the ISP when someone want to use the
Internet and keep connected until the WAN idle timeout.
The router will close the WAN connection if the time
period that no one is using the Internet exceeds the
"Idle Time".
If you select "Manual", the router will connect to ISP
only when you click "Connect" manually from the Web
user interface. The WAN connection will not
disconnected due to the idle timeout. If the WAN line
breaks down and latter links again, the router will not
auto-connect to the ISP.
Idle Time You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the
WAN port. This means if no packets have been sent
(no one using the Internet) during this specified period,
the router will automatically disconnect the connection
with your ISP.
Note: This "idle timeout" function may not work due to
abnormal activities of some network application
software, computer virus or hacker attacks from the
Internet. For example, some software sends network
packets to the Internet in the background, even when
you are not using the Internet. So please turn off your
computer when you are not using it. This function also
may not work with some ISP. So please make sure this
function can work properly when you use this function
in the first time, especially your ISP charge you by time
used.
Click <OK> when you have finished the configuration above.
Congratulations! You have completed the configuration for the PPPoE
connection. You can start using the router now, if you wish to use some of
the advance features supported by this router see chapter 2, 3, 4.
