or SMS alert message.
Stop data from being transmitted after n Kbytes/Mbytes/GBytes
The value in this text box specifies the total amount of data that may be transmitted by
this PPP instance before the link is blocked for further traffic, and the value in the drop-
down list specifies the units which are; KBytes, MBytes, GBytes.
Reset the data limit on the n day of the month
The value in this text box defined the day of the month on which the data limit is reset to
zero.
Reset this interface if n packets are transmitted and the connection has been up
for at least s seconds
The values in these text boxes control the circumstances under which the link may be reset.
If the number of packets text box has a value greater than zero, the router will reset the
link if that many IP packets have been transmitted but none have been received, and the
link has been active for at least the value specified in the second text box.
Reboot the router after n consecutive resets
If the value in this text box is non-zero, the router will reboot if the PPP link has been reset
the specified number of times as a consequence of the value n packets (described
immediately above) being exceeded.
Reboot the router after n consecutive connection failures
If the value in this text box is non-zero, the router will reboot if it fails to establish a
connection over this PPP instance after the specified number of consecutive attempts.
Allow this PPP interface to attempt to connect n times before allowing other PPP
interfaces inhibited by this interface to connect
The value in this textbox specifies the number of connection attempts this PPP instance is
allowed to make before other PPP instances that are inhibited by this instance may make
connection attempts.
If this PPP interface gets disconnected, allow it to attempt to reconnect n times
before allowing other PPP interfaces inhibited by this interface to connect
On W-WAN routers, the value in this textbox specifies the number of times that a PPP
instance which was connected and is then disconnected, is allowed to attempt to reconnect
before other PPP instances that were inhibited by this PPP instance will be allowed to
connect.
Inhibit this PPP interface if the following PPP instances n are Active | Active and
not out of service | Not out of service | Connected and not out of service
Inhibition of this PPP interface may be controlled by the state of other PPP instances. This
behaviour is controlled by the options in this drop-down menu box.
If this PPP interface is inhibited and data needs to be sent
The options in this drop-down selection box control the behaviour of the router in the
situation where the PPP instance is in its inhibited state but there is data waiting to be sent
over the interface. The options are:
Do not bring up interface
This option leaves the situation as it is with the interface remaining inhibited.
Bring up interface and use normal idle period
This option removes the inhibit state from the interface and uses the normal idle time
associated with it to control when it deactivates.
Bring up interface and use idle period of s seconds
