• PPPoE
Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by your Service Provider. The Service
Name is normally optional, but may be required by some service providers. The MTU
(Maximum Transmission Unit) governs the maximum size of the data packets. Leave this on
the default value (1492) unless you have a particular reason to change it.
Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the
Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer
than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped. Enable the Auto-reconnect option to
automatically re-establish the connection when an application attempts to access the
Internet again.
• PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows the secure remote access over the Internet
by simply dialing in a local point provided by an ISP. Using the above screen allows client PCs
to establish a normal PPTP session and provides hassle-free configuration of the PPTP client
on each client PC.
