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 3, 4, 5.
