z Tips
• When the Access Point is in the automatic connection
mode, starting an e-mail or browser application causes a
dial-up attempt to be made. To place the Access Point in
the automatic connection mode, use the Custom Setup
Utility. For more information, see the Custom Access Point
Setup Utility Help.
• The Access Point does not automatically disconnect a
connection to the Internet when an e-mail or browser
application is closed on a single computer in order to allow
