2.2.6 Telstra Big Pond

Select Telstra Big Pond if your ISP requires the Telstra Big Pond protocol to connect you to the
Internet. Your ISP should provide all the information required in this section. Telstra Big Pond
protocol is used by the ISP in Australia.
Enter the User Name provided by your ISP for the PPTP
connection. Sometimes called a Connection ID
Enter the Password provided by your ISP for the PPTP
connection.
If your LAN has a L2TP gateway, then enter that L2TP gateway
IP address here. If you do not have a L2TP gateway then enter
the ISP's Gateway IP address above.
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.
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) throughout this specified period, then 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.
