Advanced remote management settings
The settings in the previous section, along with the system defaults are sufficient to establish a
connection to the Remote Manager server. The settings in the advanced section allow the
connection to be fine-tuned. The parameters described here are concerned with detecting loss of
connection. When the router first connects to the Remote Manager server, the link parameters are
sent to it. The WAN settings and Ethernet settings described below are identical, but it should be
noted in the command line descriptions, the default keepalive intervals are different. This is owing
to the different characteristics of PPP and Ethernet links.
Connection Settings
Disconnect when Remote Manager is idle
Once the router has connected to the Remote Manager server, and the server has established
that all the settings it holds for the router are current, and no new changes are being requested,
the traffic between the router and Remote Manager server reduces to the sending of keep-alive
packets. In this situation, it may be advantageous to terminate the connection to reduce
bandwidth or to keep data costs down. Enabling this setting causes the router to negotiate
termination of the connection.
Idle Timeout h hours, m minutes, s seconds
The timeout entered here defines how long the router should wait after detecting the idle
condition before negotiating termination of the link. Default is 10 seconds.
