Configuring the Advanced Settings
– 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 of time after which the
Internet connection is to be automatically ended if no data is transmitted (default
setting: 3 minutes).
You can deactivate this function by entering "0". This means that the connection
will continue to exist even if no data is transmitted. If you have a time-based tar-
iff, this can result in high charges. In this case you should enter a value other than
"0".
This time setting only applies to the Connect on demand option.
– Select Connect manually if you always want to establish and end the connection
to the Internet manually. If you have a time-based tariff this will save you high
connection charges. How to establish a connection manually is described on
page 118.
ì
Click Test Settings to check the Internet connection. The router will attempt to con-
nect to the Internet. Any Internet connection already in existence will be closed first.
You will then be returned to the Internet Connection screen. If necessary, you can
now amend your entries.

If the test was successful, click OK to apply the settings.

Internet via its own connection ID. The router puts these connections through.
