; Idle Timeout: Specifies that PPPoE connection should disconnect if the link has no activity
detected for n seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On-Demand feature and is
enabled only when the On Demand field is checked. To ensure that the link is always active,
enter a 0 in this field.
; Keep Alive: When the On-Demand option is not enabled, this value specifies the time to
wait without being connected to your provider before terminating the connection. To ensure
that the link is always active, enter 0 in this field.
; Authentication: The different types of available authentications are:
z Auto: When auto is selected, PAP mode will run by default. However, if PAP fails,
then will run as the secondary protocol. This is the default setting.
z PAP: Password Authentication Procedure. Authentication is done through username
and password.
z CHAP: Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol. Typically more secure than
PAP, CHAP uses username and password in combination with a randomly generated
challenge string which has to be authenticated using a one-way hashing function.
; MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit. The largest size packet that can be sent by the modem.
If the network stack of any packet is larger than the MTU value, then the packet will be
fragmented before the transmission. This can be set from a minimum 128 to maximum 1500.
; On Demand: Enables on-demand mode. The connection will disconnect if no activity is
detected after the specified idle timeout value. When checked, this field enables the Idle
Timeout field.
; Default Gateway: If checked, this connection becomes the default gateway to the Internet.
; Enforce MTU: Check box if you experience problems accessing the Internet over a PPPoE
connection. This feature will force all TCP traffic to conform with PPP MTU by changing TCP
Maximum Segment Size to PPP MTU. MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) is defined as the
maximum packet size (In bytes), that a particular interface can handle.
; Debug: Click to enable the Debug function. It is for ISP /testers to simulate packets go
through from WAN side. The complete debugging information will show and listed in the
System Log file.
; PPP Unnumbered: This is a special feature for telecommunication. It enables PPP
connection to act like a bridge connection. ISP can assign blocks of public addresses to the
client and make the PPP appear as pass-through from WLAn side to the LAN side.
; LAN: The LAN field is associated with the PPP UNunmbered field and is enabled when the
PPP UNnumbered field is checked. You can specify the LAN group the packets need to go
through when the PPP UNnumbered feature is activited.
