PPPoE
Enter the PPPoE User Name and Password assigned by your Service Provider. The Service Name
is normally optional, but may be required by some service providers. Leave the Maximum
Transmission Unit (MTU) at the default value unless you have a particular reason to change it.
Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the
Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than
the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped. (Default: 10) Configure the Connect mode option to
the desired settings. “Always On Line” signifies that the broadband router will maintain your
Internet connection consistently and automatically connect to the Internet after any
disconnection. “Manual Connect” signifies that the broadband router will establish an Internet
connection only when the administrator logs into the web management and manually presses the
“Connect” button. While using the “Connect On Demand” option, if the connection is inactive for
longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped and will automatically re-establish the
connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again.
