RFC 2516 PPPoE
Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet connections. If
you are connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP to see if they use PPPoE. If they do,
you will have to enable PPPoE.

Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time. You can configure the Gateway to disconnect the Internet connection
after it has been inactive for a specified period of time (Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has

field, specify how often you want
the Gateway to check the Internet connection. The default Redial Period is
