WAN connection will not disconnect due to the idle timeout. If the
WAN line breaks down and latter links again, the router will not
auto-connect to the ISP.


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) throughout this specified period, then 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 PPTP connection. You can start using the router now, if you
wish to use some of the advance features supported by this router see chapter 2, 3, 4.
