5.9 PPP When the WAN connection is configured for either PPPoA or PPPoE, you can configure the Router’s
PPP session to remain on all the time, or to disconnect after some period of no activity. You may also choose
to instruct the Router to connect each time you want to access the WAN or the Internet.

If you want the Internet or WAN connection to be available any time a host on your LAN requests access,
select the Always On option.
If your ISP account is billed according to the amount of time the Router is connected, choose the
Connection On Demand option. You can configure an idle time in minutes to disconnect the PPP
connection after a period of inactivity. This will discontinue the PPP session and require a few seconds to
reconnect when a host requests access to the WAN. Alternatively you can choose the Manual option and
use the Connect button to initiate a PPP connection each time you want to use the Router to access the
WAN. If you use the Manual option, you must return to this menu and click the Disconnect button to
terminate the PPP session.
