Select PPTP if your ISP requires the PPTP protocol to connect you to the Internet. Your ISP
should provide all the information required in this section.
Description
Enter the User Name provided by your ISP for the PPPoE
connection.
Enter the Password provided by your ISP for the PPPoE
connection.
This is optional. Enter the Service name should your ISP
requires it, otherwise leave it blank.
This is optional. You can specify the maximum size of your
transmission packet to the Internet. Leave it as it is if you do not
wish to set a maximum packet size.
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 wants 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 disconnect due to the idle timeout. If the
WAN line breaks down and later links again, the router will not
auto-connect to the ISP.
can
You 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 at the first time, especially if
your ISP charge you by time used.
