[. . . ] Password: Enter the PPP password (usually provided buy the ISP). PPP Account Configuration Status will be displayed at the bottom of this page to show all the accounts with its Account Name and User Name. (It does not show the password. ) 6-8 The Number of PPP Accounts: This field displays the total number of PPP Accounts is entered. Session Name: This field allows the user to enter his/her own session Name to distinguish different session for different PPP accounts and different PVCs. PVC: This field allows the user to choose the specific PVC for PPP session. Service Name: The service name of PPP is required by some ISPs. If the ISP does not provide the Service Name, please leave it blank. Disconnect Timeout: The Disconnect Timeout allows the user to set the specific period of time to disconnect from the ISP. The default is 0, which means never disconnect from the ISP. MRU: Maximum Receive Unit indicates the peer of PPP connection the maximum size of the PPP information field this device can be received. The default value is 1492 and is used in the beginning of the PPP negotiation. In the normal negotiation, the peer will accept this MRU and will not send packet with information field larger than this value. MTU: Maximum Transmission Unit indicates the network stack of any packet is larger than this value will be fragmented before the transmission. During the PPP negotiation, the peer of the PPP connection will indicates its MRU and will be accepted. The actual MTU of the PPP connection will be set to the smaller one of MTU and the peer's MRU. The default is value 1492. 6-9 MSS: Maximum Segment Size is the largest size of data that TCP will send in a single IP packet. When a connection is established between a LAN client and a host in the WAN side, the LAN client and the WAN host will indicate their MSS during the TCP connection handshake. Automatic Reconnect: When it is checked, it will maintain the PPP connection all the time. If the ISP shut down the PPP connection, it will automatically reconnect PPP session. Authentication: When AUTO option is chosen, the PAP mode will run first then CHAP. PPP Configuration Status will be displayed at the bottom of this page to show all the Session Names with its Adapter (PVC number), Mode (PPPoA or PPPoE), Service Name, Account to Use (PPP Account ID), Disconnect Timeout configuration, MRU, MTU, MSS, Authentication Mode (Auto, CHAP or PAP), and Auto Reconnect configuration. 6-10 6. 4 NAT Configuration The NAT Configuration page allows the user to set the configuration for the Network Address Translation. It provides dynamic Network Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN connections, and the LAN traffic is routed to appropriate WAN connections based on the destination IP addresses and Route Table. This eliminates the need for the static NAT session configuration between multiple LAN clients and multiple WAN connections. [. . . ] PPP Half Bridge: When the PPP Half Bridge is enabled, only one PC is able to access the Internet, and the DHCP server will duplicate the WAN IP address from the ISP to the local client PC. Only the PC with the WAN IP address can access the Internet. Q: What is the difference between PPP connect on WAN access and the Automatic Reconnect?A: Some ISPs terminated the PPP session due to the inactivity. [. . . ]
