3EC 36231 ABAA TCZZA Ed. 01
The 'Mode' field allows you to configure how a PPP session is
opened.
Three options are available:
 Dialin
The PPP session is opened manually by clicking
next
to the PPP connection in the 'Dialin' page.
 Alwayson
After the STPro is powered and finished its Power On Self Test
(POST) successfully, the STPro automatically tries to open a
PPP session for the PPP entry.
 Dialondemand
The PPP session is opened automatically for a limited period
of time. The opening of the session is triggered by the arrival
of packets at a/the STPro Ethernet port, to be sent over the
PPP entry.
Note: By default one PPPoA connection is configured as 'Dialin' (i.e. PPP),
another as 'Alwayson' (i.e. PPP2).
In case you configured a PPP connection for 'Dialondemand',
the 'Idle Time Limit' box allows you to specify the time after which
an opened, but unused PPP session is closed.
If left free, the idle limit time is infinite (i.e. the PPP session will
never be closed).
