Connect on Demand:
If enabled, the router will trigger a PPP
session for connection to the Internet if any client PC on your
LAN sends out a request for Internet access. However, the
router automatically disconnects the PPP session after the
WAN connection has been idle for the amount of time you
specified in the
Max Idle Time
box. If your Internet account is
billed based on the amount of time of your Internet connection,
you probably want to enable this option and enter an idle time
value best suitable for your network.
Manual Connect:
If enabled, the system administrator can
manually connect or disconnect the PPP session by clicking
the
Connect
/
Disconnect
buttons in this page.
MTU/MRU:
Allows you to adjust the Maximum
Transmission/Receive Unit in bytes for the WAN interface. The
packets larger than the specified values will be fragmented before
being transmitted.
It’s suggested not to modify the MTU/MRU settings unless
instructed by your ISP.
After you finish the WAN settings, click
Apply
to submit your
changes.
