If you select “Continuous”, the router will always connect to the ISP. If the WAN line

 

 

 

breaks down and links again, the router will auto-reconnect to the ISP.

 

Connection Type

 

If you select “Connect On Demand”, the router will auto-connect to the ISP when

 

 

someone wants to use the Internet and keep connected until the WAN idle timeout. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

router will close the WAN connection if the time period that no one is using the Internet

 

 

 

exceeds the “Idle Time”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the WAN port. This means if no

 

 

 

packets have been sent (no one using the Internet) throughout this specified period,

 

 

 

then the router will automatically disconnect the connection with your ISP.

 

 

 

Note: This “idle timeout” function may not work due to abnormal activities of some

 

Idle Time

 

network application software, computer virus or hacker attacks from the Internet. For

 

 

example, some software sends network packets to the Internet in the background, even

 

 

 

 

 

 

when you are not using the Internet. So please turn off your computer when you are not

 

 

 

using it. This function also may not work with some ISP. So please make sure this

 

 

 

function can work properly when you use this function in the first time, especially your

 

 

 

ISP charge you by time used

 

 

 

 

Click <OK> when you have finished the configuration above. Congratulations! You have completed the configuration for the PPTP connection. You can start using the router now, if you wish to use some of the advance features supported by this router see chapter 2, 3, 4.
