Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl First Steps page 58

Configuring the Advanced Settings
Leave the default settings for the parameters IP address type, Host name, MTU,
Line mode, Encapsulation, QoS class and VPI / VCI unless your service provider has
provided you with other data. The default settings also depend on your choice of
country.
Note:
To configure the Internet connection successfully, you must enter the details
given by your provider in all fields.
ì
Specify how Internet sessions are to be established via Connection mode:
– Select Always on if the connection is to exist at all times when the
Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl is turned on.
Note:
u
You must set up the Always on option if you wish to use Internet telephony.
Otherwise you can only use fixed network telephony via the Gigaset SX553
WLAN dsl.
u
If you are on a time-based tariff, this option can result in high connection
charges.
– Select Connect on demand if applications such as a Web browser or an e-mail
program are to connect to the Internet automatically.
– In the Idle time before disconnect field, enter a period after which the Internet
connection is to end automatically if no data is transmitted (the default setting is
3 minutes).
This time setting only applies to the Connect on demand option.
– Select Connect manually if you always want to establish and end the Internet
connection manually. If you are on a time-based tariff this will save you high con-
nection charges.
Note:
If you select Connect on demand or Connect manually you can establish or
end the Internet connection manually on the start screen for the configuration
program (see page 33).

Click OK to apply the settings.
