If your network account is not billed according to the amount of time connected,
the
Idle Time
field should be left at the default value 0. This means that the
Router is always connected and able to connect on demand.
If your network account is billed according to the amount of time the Router is
actually connected to the Internet, enter an appropriate
Idle Time
value (in
seconds). This will disconnect the Router after the WAN connection has been idle
for the amount of time specified.
PPP Information
This field provides information regarding the status of the Router’s connection to
the WAN. The global
IP Address
for the Router should be assigned
automatically by the network service provider’s PPP server. The
Connection
Status
will read Disconnect until the Router has established the WAN
connection.
Connect to WAN
If you have enabled the Connect on Demand feature, the Router will have
established the WAN connection upon restarting.
If the Connect on Demand feature has been disabled, click the
Connect
button to
initiate the PPP connection via the ADSL WAN interface. The “handshake”
process will take a few seconds.
In the PPPoE or PPPoA Configuration widow, viewing the
Connection Status
Connected
, under
PPPoA Information
will indicate a valid connection. A valid
ADSL connection can also be confirmed by observing the LED indicators on the
front panel of the device.
