indow,
Dial-up Only:
Only active when you manually
connect.
Autoconnect on Disconnect:
If the connection gets dropped (line
error, router reboot, DSL line drop,
etc.), the PPP client automatically
attempts to reconnect as soon as the
error is resolved. This is like an
“always on” WAN connection.
Use Idle Timeout:
If the connection sits without transmitting for the specified time, the router will log out the PPP
connection. This helps relieve Internet congestion at the ISP level. The SpeedStream router also
provides a Connect on Demand feature wherein the router automatically reconnects when you
attempt to use the WAN connection. Idle Timeout cannot be used with Autoconnect on
Disconnect.
