If you select “Connect On Demand”, the router will
auto-connect to the ISP when someone want 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”.
If you select “Manual”, the router will connect to ISP
only when you click “Connect” manually from the Web
user interface. The WAN connection will not
disconnected due to the idle timeout. If the WAN line
breaks down and latter links again, the router will not
auto-connect to the ISP.
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) during this specified period, the router will automatically
disconnect the connection with your ISP.
Note: This “idle timeout” function may not work due to abnormal
activities of some 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 PPPoE 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.
