RFC 2364 PPPoA

Check with your ISP to see if they use
PPPoA. If they do, you will have to
enable PPPoA.

button next to

is selected, if
you are disconnected, the Modem will
automatically re-establish your
connection. In the Redial Period field,
specify how often you want the Modem to
check the Internet connection. The
default Redial Period is one minute.

Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time. You
can configure the Modem to disconnect
the Internet connection after a period of

Connect on Demand enables the Modem
to automatically re-establish your
connection as soon as you attempt to
access the Internet again. If you wish to
activate
Connect on Demand
, click the
radio button. In the Max Idle Time field,
enter the number of minutes you want to
have elapsed before your Internet
connection terminates. Choose this
option if your ISP charges you by the
