Advanced PSTN parameters
Metric
The route metric that should be applied to this interface. See PPP parameters for more detail.
Enable “Always On” mode of this interface
When enabled, causes the following two options to appear.
On/On and return to service immediately
Select whether the always-on functionality should simply be enabled or whether the additional
facility to return the interface to the In Service state should be applied.
Put this interface “Out of Service” when an always-on connection attempt fails
Normally, always-on interfaces do not go out of service unless they have connected at least
once. When enabled, causes the router to put the interface out of service even if the first
connection attempt fails.
Attempt to re-connect after s seconds
The length of time in seconds that the router should wait after an always-on PPP connection has
been terminated before trying to re-establish the link.
If an inhibited PPP interface is connected, attempt to re-connect after s seconds
The value in this text box takes precedence over the previous parameter when another PPP
instance that is usually inhibited by this one is connected. Use this parameter to reduce the
connection retry rate when a lower priority PPP instance is connected.
Wait s seconds after power-up before activating this interface
The initial delay that the router applies before activating the PPP instance after power-up. After
the initial power-up delay the normal always-on activation timers apply. If set to 0, no delay is
applied.
Control when this interface can connect using Time band n
These two controls, the check box and drop-down list, determine whether the time band
function should be applied to this interface. Enabling this setting enables the functionality and
the desired time band instance is selected from the drop-down list. See Configure time bands for
more information about the time band function.
Keep this interface up for at least s seconds
The minimum period that the PPP interface should remain available. This means that even if the
link becomes inactive before this period expires, the connection remains open.
