The interval between LCP. Echo after no response.
Tunneling
Factory Default = ENABLE
If ENABLED, this option allows PPP traffic to be bridged to the WAN. This feature
allows you to use a PPPoE shim on the host computer to connect to the Internet
Service Provider, by bypassing VersaLink’s capability to do this.
NOTE: Tunneling is available in PPPoE mode only.
NOTE: The values for IP Address, VersaLink, DNS Primary, and DNS Secondary are all “Override of the value
obtained from the PPP connection,” They default to “0.0.0.0,” in which case the override is ignored. Westell
recommends that you do not change the values unless your Internet Service Provider instructs you to change them.
