Internet State

Using the button to force an Internet Connection/Disconnection

Whenever you make changes to any of the settings on the Advanced Set-up > Broadband
Settings page, and press the Save Changes button, your Internet connection (PPP) will
attempt to be re-established.
There may be occasions, say for troubleshooting, where you might want to manually Connect
or Disconnect your Internet Connection (PPP) without making Broadband Settings changes.
If you are connected to the Internet (the 'Internet State' displays 'Connected') and you want
to disconnect, click on the Disconnect button:
The 'Applying changes' message will be displayed, and the page will be displayed with the
Internet State of 'Disconnected' visible. In the Advanced Set-up > System > System Log
page the disconnected state appears as 'PPP connection down (VC1)'.
If you are disconnected from the Internet (the 'Internet State' displays 'Disconnected') click
on the Connect button to attempt a reconnection:
The 'Applying changes' message will be displayed, and the page should be displayed with the
Internet State of 'Connected' visible. In the Advanced Set-up > System > System Log
page the disconnected state appears as 'PPP connection up (VC1)'.
Please note that the Connect button will only successfully re-establish an Internet
connection if your Internet service is working and the Bright Box has been setup correct. See
Chapter 3: Installation on page 14 or Chapter 8: Troubleshooting on page 198 for further
information.
