5.4.4 PPP Miscellaneous Configuration

These options can be found on the Miscellaneous Configuration page under Admin Privilege.
PPP Half Bridge: When PPP Half Bridge is enabled, only one PC is able to access the Internet, and the
DHCP server will duplicate the WAN IP address from the ISP to the local client PC. Only the PC with the
WAN IP address can access the Internet. System default is Disabled.
PPP reconnect on WAN access: If enabled, the PPP session will automatically establish a connection
when a packet tries to access the WAN. System default is Disabled.
Connect PPP when ADSL link is up: If this option is enabled, the Router will connect the PPP session
whenever an ADSL connection is established. If this option is disabled, the PPP session will not connect
whenever the ADSL Showtime is reached. System default is Enabled.
Q. If the PPP session is disconnected after the Disconnect Timeout, how can I reconnect it?
Answer: You have to go to the PPP Status page, enter the correct connection number, select the Connect
option in the dropdown menu, and then click Execute. This will restart the PPP secession.
Q. What can I do to ensure an always-on connection with my PPP session?
Answer: There are two things you should do: 1) Make sure you have '0 'in the Disconnect Timeout field.
This will make sure that the PPP session is not disconnected from the user side. 2) Make sure the
Automatic Reconnect box is checked. This will cause the Router to automatically reconnect if the
connection is severed from either the ISP side or the user side.

Answer: For the PPP connect on WAN access, the PPP will be automatically reconnected when an URL is
entered in the browser (packet interested in going out the WAN). For the Automatic Reconnect, it will
reconnect the PPP session whenever it is terminated by ISP.
