RFC 2516 PPPoE
Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE
(Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
to establish Internet connections.
Check with your ISP to see if they use
PPPoE. If they do, you will have to
enable PPPoE.
• User Name and Password. Enter the User
Name and Password provided by your ISP.
• Keep Alive: Redial Period. When he radio
button next to Keep Alive is selected, if
you are disconnected, the Modem will
automatically re-establish your
connection. In the Redial Period field,
specify how often you want the Modem to
check the Internet connection. The
default Redial Period is one minute.
Choose this option if your ISP charges you
a flat, monthly fee.
• Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time. You
can configure the Modem to disconnect
the Internet connection after a period of
inactivity (Max Idle Time). If this occurs,
Connect on Demand enables the Modem
to automatically re-establish your
connection as soon as you attempt to
access the Internet again. If you wish to
activate Connect on Demand, click the
radio button. In the Max Idle Time field,
enter the number of minutes you want to
have elapsed before your Internet
connection terminates. Choose this
option if your ISP charges you by the hour
or minute.
