7.3.9 L2TP
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is a common connection method used for xDSL connections in Europe. It can
be used to join different physical networks using the Internet as an intermediary. If you have been provided
with the information as shown on the screen, enter the assigned IP address, subnet mask, default gateway
IP address, user ID and password, and L2TP Gateway. Configure the Connect mode option to the desired
settings. “Always On Line” signifies that the broadband router will maintain your Internet connection
consistently and automatically connect to the Internet after any disconnection. “Manual Connect” signifies
that the broadband router will establish an Internet connection only when the administrator logs into the
web management and manually presses the “Connect” button. While using the “Connect On Demand”
option, if the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped and will
automatically re-establish the connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again.
