packet will be fragmented before the transmission. During the PPP negotiation, the peer
of the PPP connection will indicate its MRU and will accept any value up to that size.
Range: 0-32767 Default: 1492
MSS: Maximum Segment Size is the largest size of data that TCP will send in a single,
unfragmented IP packet. The LAN client and the WAN host will indicate their MSS during
the TCP connection handshake.
Range: 0-32767 Default: 1432
Lcp Echo Interval: It is the time interval, in seconds, between PPP session connection
attempts.
Range: 0-32767 Default: 10
Lcp Echo Maximum Consecutive Failure: It is the number of times a PPP session can
fail while trying to connect before stopping. If a PPP session fails this number of times,
you must manually reconnect the PPP session.
Range: 0-32767 Default: 6
Authentication: The different types of available authentications are:
l
Auto (default): When auto is selected, PAP mode will run by default. However, if
PAP fails, then CHAP will run as the secondary protocol. This is the default setting.
l
PAP: Password Authentication Procedure. Authentication is done through username
and password.
l
CHAP: Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol. Typically more secure than
PAP, CHAP uses username and password in combination with a randomly gener-
ated challenge string which has to be authenticated using a one-way hashing func-
tion.
Automatic Reconnect: When it is checked, the Router will reconnect a PPP session
when it is terminated by the ISP. If a PPP session is terminated under any other condi-
tions (i.e. by Disconnect Timeout or manual disconnect), the Automatic Reconnect will
not reconnect the session. This box is unchecked by default.
PPP Configuration Status: A table will be displayed at the bottom of this page to show
all related information of PPP configuration.
