If your local ISP uses protocols of “PPPoA” or “PPPoE” over the ATM VC, you
may need to setup the username and password information provided from
your local ISP. The maximum length of username and password for ISP
setting is limited to 51. The following command configures the ISP profile for
WAN 3 with username “[email protected]”, password “Fuyg47ds”, and idle
timeout of 10 minutes:
admin# setup wan 3 isp [email protected] Fuyg47ds 10
To review the new configuration you have configured, type:
admin# setup wan 3 list
Int. ISP account username Idle time

Note: The ISP account information would not be shown if the corresponding WAN port is disabled. The account
information is provided from your local ISP. Please ask your local ISP if you do not know the username and password.
The “PPPoA” and “PPPoE” protocols are designed based on the concept of
“dial-on-demand”. Each time a request is made from a host on the LAN, GRT
series checks the link status of the WAN ports and transfers the packets if the
link status is active. When the link status is not active, it performs login
procedure with the account information of ISP profiles and then transfers the
packets if login successfully. Once the link has been established successfully,
GRT series continuously monitors the traffic over WAN links. The “PPPoA” or
“PPPoE” section will be cut off if there are no packets over the links during the
period of idle timeout. The valid value for idle timeout is from 0 to 300 minutes.
The idle timeout of “0” means that the session connects always even there is
no traffic over the WAN link. To save the new WAN port configuration, enter:
admin# write
Note: Currently, the section timeout is set to be 10 minutes. Also, WAN 1 has the highest priority to dial if multiple WAN
ports are enabled with PPPoA/PPPoE protocols while WAN 8 has the lowest one. In most applications,
