The Qube 2 Administrator can also determine the connection mode
between the Qube 2 and the ISP. There are three possible
connection-mode settings; these settings determine how the Qube 2 uses
the modem to connect to your ISP.
•
"Not Used" means the Qube 2 does not connect at all.
•
"Dial-on-demand" means the Qube 2 connects only when there is
traffic that is destined for an external network.
•
"Always Connected" means the Qube 2 is connected at all times.
The setting you choose depends on your phone line and access charges.
•
If you have a dedicated phone line for Internet access, then you can
choose "Always Connected."
•
If the phone line you use for Internet access is also used for voice or
fax communication, or if your Internet access is charged by the
minute, then choose "Dial-on-demand." The modem accesses the
Internet only when a user requires Internet access.
Figure 28 shows the Modem Dial-out Settings table.

Note: If you choose Dial-on-demand, your first attempt to
access the Internet may time out before your modem can
establish a connection to your ISP. If this happens, wait for a
short period, then try again.
