Maximum Idle Time
A value of 0 means that the PPP connection will remain connected. If your
network account is billed according to the amount of time the Router is
actually connected to the Internet, enter an appropriate Idle Time value (in
seconds). This will disconnect the Router after the WAN connection has
been idle for the amount of time specified. The default value = 5.
MTU
Enter an MTU value only if required by your ISP. Otherwise, leave it at the
default setting.
Connect Mode
This function, with Connect-on-demand selected, will allow the router to
connect any workstation on your LAN to the Internet upon request. If this
function is set at Always-on, no request from the workstation will be
needed to connect to the Internet. If Manual is selected, it will be
necessary for the workstation on the LAN to manually connect to the
Internet through this router.

Some ISPs may require the user
to uplink using the Layer 2
Protocol Tunneling (L2TP) method.
L2TP is a VPN protocol that will
ensure a direct connection to the
server using an authentication
process that guarantees the data
originated from the claimed sender
and was not damaged or altered in
transit. Once connected to the
VPN tunnel, it seems to the user
that the client computer is directly
connected to the internal network.
To set up your L2TP connection,
enter the following data that was
provided to you by your ISP.
