Pppoe - SMC Networks Barricade SMCBR14UP User Manual

7.5.2 PPPoE

Enter the PPPoE User Name and Password assigned by your Service Provider. The Service Name is
normally optional, but may be required by some service providers. Leave the Maximum Transmission Unit
(MTU) at the default value unless you have a particular reason to change it. Enter a Maximum Idle Time
(in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained during
inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped.
(Default: 10) Configure the Connect mode option to the desired settings. "Always On Line" signifies that
the broadband router will maintain your Internet connection consistently and automatically connect to the
Internet after any disconnection. "Manual Connect" signifies that the broadband router will establish an
Internet connection only when the administrator logs into the web management and manually presses the
"Connect" button. While using the "Connect On Demand" option, if the connection is inactive for longer
than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped and will automatically re-establish the connection as soon
as you attempt to access the Internet again.
