Viewing Your Current PPP Configuration
To view your current PPP setup, log into the Configuration

The [Point

as shown in Figure 36.
Figure 36. Point to Point Protocol (PPP) Configuration Page
PPP is configured as a group of software settings associated with
the ADSL port. Although the device has only one physical ADSL
port, the ADSL Barricade can be defined with more than one
group of PPP settings. Each group of settings is called
a PPP
interface and is given a name, such as [ppp-0], [ppp-1], etc.
You can configure the following settings on the [Point to Point
Protocol (PPP) Configuration] page.
[Inactivity TimeOut (mins):]
This is the time in minutes that must elapse before a PPP
connection times-out due to inactivity.
[Ignore WAN to LAN traffic while monitoring inactivity:]
Enabled, data traffic traveling in the incoming direction - from the
WAN port to the LAN port - will not count as activity on the WAN
port; i.e., the occurrence of WAN to LAN traffic will not prevent
the connection from being terminated due to lack of activity in the
WAN to LAN direction.
