If you subscribe a DSL service with PPPoE connection from ISP, you can set IP configuration to
PPPoE to get a dynamic IP address. Your ISP will provide you the User Name and Password,
some ISP will also need the Service Name to authenticate. But this item is optional and
depending on your ISP.
If you want to keep the connection always on between BF-480 and your ISP, then set the value of
item Close Connection When Idle Time Over to 0, otherwise, when the idle time of no any
traffic on line is over the setting value, BF-480 will terminate this PPPoE connection.
If your ISP can provide you fixed IP address when PPPoE connection established each time, you
can select PPPoE with Fixed IP Address as ENABLE and enter the IP address given from ISP.
