PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)

PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish
Internet connections for end-users. If you use a DSL

PPPoE
.

Connect on Demand
If you select the Connect on
Demand option, the connection will be disconnected
after a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time). If you
have been disconnected due to inactivity, Connect on
Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish
your connection as soon as you attempt to access the
Internet again. Enter the number of minutes you want to
have elapsed before your Internet access disconnects. The
default Max Idle Time is
5
minutes.
Keep Alive: Interval
If you select the Keep Alive option,
the Router will send keep-alive packets as often as you
specify. The default Interval is
30
seconds.
Keep Alive: Retry Times
If you select the Keep Alive
option, the Router will send keep-alive packets as many
times as you specify. If the Router does not receive a
response from the ISP, then the Router will terminate the
connection and start sending PADI packets after the Redial
Period. The default Retry Times is
5
times.
Keep Alive: Redial Period
If you select the Keep Alive
option, the Router will keep the connection alive by
sending out a few data packets periodically, so your ISP
thinks that the connection is still active. This option keeps
your connection active indefinitely, even when it sits idle.
The default Redial Period is
30
seconds.
