Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl First Steps page 40

Basic Setup Wizard
Note:
Connection to the Internet is only possible if you have entered all the data for your
Internet provider correctly.
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
This option can result in high connection charges if you are on a time-based
tariff.
u
You must set up the Always on option if you wish to use Internet telephony.
– 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).
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 are on 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 request 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 pro-
gram (see page 33).
