■ Connect-on-demand Is a utility to trigger the PPPoE session to connect if in a disconnected
status when Internet access is being attempted. Choose “Enable” to make this function
active, and enter the number of minutes you wish to wait after network idle time in the
“Max Idle Time” location. This function is for PPPoE only.
■ Keep Alive This function keeps your PPPoE connection always on even during a period of
no WAN activity. In some situations the PPPoE session can not be restored immediately
after disconnection because the ISP’s system may need time to restore. Check with your ISP
to ascertain how much time is required before the router starts to re-build the PPPoE session
and enter this into the “Redial Period” field.
