Europe. It can be used to join different physical networks using the Internet as an intermediary.

Configure the Connect mode option to the desired settings. “Always On Line” signifies that the
broadband router will maintain your Internet connection consistently and automatically connect
to the Internet after any disconnection. “Manual Connect” signifies that the broadband router will
establish an Internet connection only when the administrator logs into the web management and
manually presses the “Connect” button. While using the “Connect On Demand” option, if the
connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped and will
automatically re-establish the connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again.
Dial Up
Most Dial-up users will select this option to connect to their ISP through an analog dial-up
modem. This feature can be used as a back-up when your broadband connectivity is unavailable.
