Setting
Description
Host Name
Host name is optional but may be required by some ISP.
User Name and
Password
Enter the user name and password you use to log into your
ISP. This is different from the information you used to log into
Configuration Manager.
Primary/ Secondary
DNS
IP address of the primary or secondary DNS are optional
as PPPoE will automatically detect the DNS IP addresses
configured at your ISP. However, if there are other DNS
servers you would rather use, enter the IP addresses in the
spaces provided.
Connection Options
The default setting for this option is “Disable”. You can also
select either
Dial-On-Demand
or
Keep-Alive
if desired.
Dial-On-Demand
enter the inactivity timeout period at which
you want to disconnect the Internet connection when there
is no traffic. The minimum value of inactivity timeout is 30
seconds. RIP and SNTP services may interfere with this
function if there are activities from these two services. Make
sure that the update interval setting of the system date and
time (see
11.4 Setup Date and Time
for details) is greater
than the inactivity timeout value.
Keep Alive
Enable this option if you wish to keep your Internet
connection active, even when there is no traffic. Enter the
value for the “Echo Interval” at which you want the router
to send out some data periodically to your ISP. The default
value of “Echo Interval” is 60 seconds.
