your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as a default route. If, for example, you configure a cor-
porate network connection, only enter the route to the head office or branch office as a de-
fault route if you do not configure Internet access over your device. If, for example, you
configure both Internet access and a corporate network connection, enter a default route to
the ISP and a network route to the head office. You can enter several default routes on
your device, but only one default route can be active at any one time. If you enter several
default routes, you should make sure the values for Metric are different.
Activating NAT
With Network Address Translation (NAT), you conceal your whole network to the outside
world behind one IP address. You should certainly do this for your connection to the Inter-
net Service Provider (ISP).
Only outgoing sessions are allowed initially if NAT is activated. To allow certain connec-
tions from outside to hosts within the LAN, these must be explicitly defined and admitted.
Connection Idle Timeout
The connection idle timeout is determined in order to clear the connection automatically if it
is not being used, i.e. if data is no longer being sent, to help you save costs.
Block after Connection Failure
You use this function to set up a waiting time for outgoing connection attempts after which
your device's connection attempt is regarded as having failed.

13.1.1 PPPoE

In the WAN -> Internet + Dialup -> PPPoE menu, a list of all PPPoE interfaces is shown.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) is the use of the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) network pro-
tocol over an Ethernet connection. Today, PPPoE is used for ADSL connections in Ger-
many. In Austria, the Point To Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) was originally used for AD-
SL access. However, PPPoE is now offered here too by some providers.
