Idle Time Out
Click <OK> when you have finished the configuration above. Congratulations! You have
completed the configuration for the L2TPP connection. You can start using the router now, if you
wish to use some of the advance features supported by this router see chapter 3, 4, 5.
3.2.6 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.
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 be 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.
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 in the first time, especially
your ISP charge you by time used.
