This enables a constant flow of “heartbeat” traffic between the SOHO 6 and the PPPoE server. In the event of routine packet loss, this option allows the SOHO 6 to maintain the PPPoE connection. The SOHO 6 may reboot to recover this connection if the heartbeat fails. This provides for a more consistent Internet connection and is seen as continuous traffic by the ISP and regulated (and in some cases billed) as such. This option is also used for Technical Support debugging purposes.
