Configuration – Remote Management > iDigi > Advanced
The settings in the previous section, along with the system defaults are sufficient to
establish a connection to the iDigi server. The settings in the advanced section allow the
connection to be fine-tuned. The parameters described here are concerned with detecting
loss of connection. When the router first connects to the iDigi server, the link parameters
are sent to it. The WAN settings and Ethernet settings described below are identical, but it
should be noted in the command line descriptions that the default keepalive intervals are
different. This is due to the different characteristics of PPP and Ethernet links.

Disconnect when the iDigi server is idle
Once the router has connected to the iDigi server, and the server has established that all
the settings it holds for the router are current, and no new changes are being requested,
the traffic between the router and iDigi server reduces to the sending of keep-alive packets.
In this situation, it may be advantageous to terminate the connection in order to reduce
bandwidth or to keep data costs down. Ticking this checkbox will cause the router to
negotiate termination of the connection.
Idle Timeout h hours, m minutes, s seconds
The timeout entered here defines how long the router should wait after detecting the idle
condition before negotiating termination of the link. Default is 10 seconds.
Configuration – Remote Management > iDigi > Advanced > WAN Settings
Receive Interval s seconds
This is the time between keep-alive packets that the router should wait before considering
that the connection may be lost.
Transmit Interval s seconds
This is the interval between transmission of keep-alive packets.
Assume connection is lost after n timeouts
Occasional packet loss is to be expected, this parameter will allow for a specified number of
lost keep-alive packets before the connection is deemed to have failed.
