session on demand anytime your PC requests Internet activity (for example,
browsing the Internet, email, etc.). When you have traffic, it may cause a delay.
Always On Selecting this feature allows the Router to automatically establish a PPP session
when you log on, or if the PPP session goes down.

Selecting this feature allows you to enable the timeout parameter of your PPP
session, which is set to a factory default of 20 minutes.

profile in the Router so that you will not have to re-enter it in case of a re-boot.
Minutes for Connection Time Out This option allows you to specify the number of minutes that you want a PPP
session to stay active before it is disconnected due to inactivity. (This feature
works if you have selected the Time Out Enable feature explained above.)
