• Connection Type: If using PPPoE, this is a choice to have either an uninterrupted connection or an as-needed connection. The type of service you have signed up for with your ISP. Options are On-Demand, Always ON, and Manual.
  
  Always ON: This setting provides convenience, but it leaves your network permanently connected to the Internet.
  
  On-Demand: Furnishes almost all the benefits of an Always On connection, but has additional security benefits:
  
  Your network cannot be attacked when it is not connected.
  
  Your network may change address with each connection, making it more difficult to attack.
  
  Manual: This setting disables automatic connection attempts. You must bring the connection up and down via the Connect/Disconnect buttons.
  
  
• User Inactivity Timeout: (in seconds) If you chose either Manual or On Demand as your Connection Type, the User Inactivity Timeout setting can be used to control how long your connection will remain active before it disconnects automatically. You can set it for up to one hour (3600 seconds). After that period of time expires with no user activity, the connection must be reestablished.
