Select 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 SX541
WLAN dsl is switched on.
– 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 tariff
this can cause 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 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 123.
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 find information about the test steps and results on the Internet Connec-
tion Test screen.
