•On Demand – Enables on-demand mode. The connection will disconnect if no activity is detected after the specified idle timeout value.

•Idle Timeout – Specifies that PPPoA connection should disconnect if the link has no activity detected for the specified number of seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On Demand feature. To disable the timeout feature, enter a zero in this field.

•Keep Alive – When the On Demand option is not enabled, this value specifies the length of time to keep the connection from being shut down for inactivity by sending PPP LCP echoes to the PPP server. To ensure that the link is always active, enter a zero in this field.

•MRU – The Maximum Receive Unit the DSL connection can receive. It is a negotiated value that asks the provider to send packets of no more than this number of bytes. The maximum specified value is 1500, although some DSL/ISP providers require a larger value. The minimum MRU value is 128.

•Debug – Enables PPPoA connection debugging facilities. Debugging is talked about later.
