I. Enable/Disable Idle Timer Filter :
All Traffic will reset Idle Timer (ignore filter below): Selecting this option will disable the
PPP Idle Timeout filter and allow any traffic through any protocol or port to reset the idle
timer. The only dependency is that the traffic must correspond with the Filter Application
(Inbound and/or Outbound). For example, if Outbound Traffic Only is selected, only traffic
in the outbound direction will reset the idle timer. When this option is selected, all user
configured criteria (displayed in the filter table) is bypassed.
Only filtered traffic will reset the Idle Timer (use filter below): Selecting this option will
enable the PPP Idle Timeout filter and only allow traffic specified in the filter table to reset
the idle timer. The traffic specified in the filter table must also correspond with the Filter
Application selection. For example, outbound traffic with criteria matching that of the filter
table will only be allowed to pass if either Outbound Traffic Only or Inbound and
Outbound Traffic is selected.
Note: PPP reconnect on WAN access must be enabled for the Idle Timer to reconnect a
PPP Session when a request is made from the LAN to the WAN.

II. Apply Filter :
The Filter Application consists of three options that determine which sources (LAN and/or
WAN) will be able to reset the Idle Timer and reconnect the PPP session.
Inbound Traffic Only: Selecting this option will allow PPP requests from the WAN side to
reset the Disconnect Timeout timer. Note that requests from the WAN side cannot bring a
PPP Session out of Idle state. This is because when a PPP Session is in Idle state, the
connection is down (if they match the filter table criteria).
Outbound Traffic Only: When this option is selected (default), PPP sessions can only be
activated (Idle Timeout) when a request is made on the LAN side to the WAN side. The
disconnect timer will reset when outbound traffic is detected (if they match the filter table
criteria).
Inbound and Outbound Traffic: Selecting this will allow both WAN and LAN source
packets to reset the idle timer.
