PLANET Technology GRT-101 User's Manual
To review the new configuration you have configured, type:

Int. ISP account username Idle time
---- --------------------------------- ---------
WAN 1
WAN 2
WAN 3 pppoa3@isp.com 10
WAN 4
WAN 5
WAN 6
WAN 7
WAN 8
Note: The ISP account information would not be shown if the corresponding WAN port is disabled. The account
information is provided from your local ISP. Please ask your local ISP if you do not know the username and password.
The "PPPoA" and "PPPoE" protocols are designed based on the concept of
"dial-on-demand". Each time a request is made from a host on the LAN,
GRT-101 checks the link status of the WAN ports and transfers the packets if
the link status is active. When the link status is not active, it performs login
procedure with the account information of ISP profiles and then transfers the
packets if login successfully. Once the link has been established successfully,
GRT-101 continuously monitors the traffic over WAN links. The "PPPoA" or
"PPPoE" section will be cut off if there are no packets over the links during the
period of idle timeout. The valid value for idle timeout is from 0 to 300 minutes.
The idle timeout of "0" means that the session connects always even there is
no traffic over the WAN link. To save the new WAN port configuration, enter:
admin# write
Note: Currently, the section timeout is set to be 10 minutes. Also, WAN 1 has the highest priority to dial if multiple WAN
ports are enabled with PPPoA/PPPoE protocols while WAN 8 has the lowest one. In most applications,
PPPoA/PPPoE protocols must work with NAT/PAT. Please refer to section 3.7.3 NAT/PAT for details.
