Metric
The value in this text box specifies the route metric that should be applied to this interface.
(see Configuration – Network > Interfaces > Advanced > PPP n for more detail.)
Enable “Always On” mode of this interface
When checked, this checkbox causes the following two options to appear:
On/On and return to service immediately
These two radio buttons select whether the “always-on” functionality should simply be
enabled or whether the additional facility to return the interface to the “In Service” state
should be applied.
Put this interface “Out of Service” when an always-on connection attempt fails.
Normally, always-on interfaces will not go out of service unless they have connected at
least once. When checked, this checkbox causes the router to put the interface out of
service even if the first connection attempt fails.
Attempt to re-connect after s seconds
The parameter in this text box specifies the length of time in seconds that the router should
wait after an “always-on” PPP connection has been terminated before trying to re-establish
the link.
If an inhibited PPP interface is connected, attempt to re-connect after s seconds
The value in this textbox takes precedence over the previous parameter when another
PPP instance that is usually inhibited by this one is connected. This parameter would
typically be used to reduce the connection retry rate when a lower priority PPP instance is
connected.
Wait s seconds after power-up before activating this interface
The value in this textbox is the initial delay that the router will apply before activating the
PPP instance after power-up. After the initial power-up delay the normal always-on
activation timers apply. If set to zero, no delay will be applied.
Control when this interface can connect using Time band n
These two controls, the check box and drop-down list determine whether the Time Band
function should be applied to this interface. Checking the checkbox enables the functionality
and the desired time band instance is selected from the drop-down list. Time Band
functionality is explained in the Configuration – Network > Interfaces > Timebands
section of this manual.
Keep this interface up for at least s seconds
