go offline. Enter a maximum period of time (seconds) to define the
maximum idle time. If the silent time is above the defined maximum idle

Reconnect to disable this function.
Auto Reconnect/Dial Status If you choose Auto Reconnect, BLW-
HPMM-U Wireless Router will automatically reconnect to your ISP
when you restart the system or the connection is stopped. To enable
Auto Reconnect you must set Silent Timeout to be 0 or leave the
field blank; otherwise there might be a warning message.
Auth Type BLW-HPMM-U supports WPA encryption. You may
choose PAP or CHAP authentication to enhance the security of data
transmission.
PAP –Short for Password Authentication Protocol, the most basic
form of authentication, in which a user's name and password are
transmitted over a network and compared to a table of name-password
pairs. Typically, the passwords stored in the table are encrypted. The
Basic Authentication feature built into the HTTP protocol uses PAP.
The main weakness of PAP is that both the username and password
are transmitted "in the clear" -- that is, in an unencrypted form.
CHAP –Short for Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol,
a type of authentication in which the authentication agent (typically
a network server) sends the client program a random value that is
used only once and an ID value. Both the sender and peer share a
predefined secret.
