Excluding certain packet types from triggering the connection to dial

Depending on your environment, you might prefer to exclude certain types of traffic passing through the router from triggering

the data connection. You can tell the router to ignore outbound TCP, UDP or ICMP packets. When any of these options are

checked the router will not dial a connection when that type of outbound destined data packet reaches the router from a locally

connected device.

Excluding certain application types from triggering the connection to dial

Some devices may generate general traffic as a part of normal operation which you may not want to trigger the data connection.

You can set the router to ignore Domain Name System (DNS), Network Time Protocol (NTP) or Microsoft network awareness

(NCSI) traffic from devices behind the router. When you check the box for these options, it tells the router to ignore the request

from that application type and will not dial a connection when this data type is received.

Setting timers for dial-up and disconnection

The router has a number of timer settings which let you determine when a connection is dialled and when it is disconnected.
