5.4.3 PPP Disconnect Timer Configuration
The
PPP Disconnect Timer Configuration page enables you to configure what action
will bring a PPP Session out of the Idle state (disconnected state) and reset the Idle
Timer. This is done by specifying criteria contained in packets, namely IP Protocol and
Port. The Idle Timer refers to the Disconnect Timeout, specified on the
PPP Configura-
tion page.
The PPP Idle Timer is recommended to be disabled ( Disconnect Timeout = 0 on PPP
Configuration page) if you want an always-on connection. PPP Disconnect Timer Con-
figuration is intended for users who do not desire an always-on connection and/or their
ISP charge by connection time.
5.4.3.1 Enable/Disable Idle Timer Filter
All Traffic will reset Idle Timer (ignore filter below):
Selecting this option will disable
the PPP Idle Timeout filter and allow any traffic through any protocol or port to reset the
idle timer. The only dependency is that the traffic must correspond with the Filter Appli-
cation (Inbound and/or Outbound). For example, if
Outbound Traffic Only is selected,
only traffic in the outbound direction will reset the idle timer. When this option is selected,
all user configured criteria (displayed in the filter table) is bypassed.
