Heartbeat
If your ISP provides Heartbeat connectivity, choose this item from the drop-down list.
The NetComm router will automatically detect this IP address, however, if you are having
trouble connecting then we suggest you may also need to specify the Heartbeat Server's IP
address.
Note: Your ISP will advise which Log-in IP is required.
■
User Name Enter the user name as provided by your ISP.
■
Password Enter the password as provided by your ISP.
■
Server Your ISP will provide you with the Heartbeat Server’s IP Address.
■
Connect-on-demand Is a feature that triggers the connection to the internet when it is
required and will disconnect it when it is not being used. Choose “Enable” to make this
function active, and enter the number of minutes you wish to wait after network idle time in
the “Max Idle Time” location.
■
Keep Alive This function keeps your Heartbeat connection always on even during a period
of no WAN activity. In some situations the Heartbeat session cannot be restored
immediately after disconnection because the ISP’s system may need time to restore. Check
with your ISP to ascertain much time is required before the router starts to re-build the
Heartbeat session and enter this into the “Redial Period” field.
When you have properly configured the Setup page, click “Apply”. Your Router will then
attempt to connect to the Internet. If you experience problems, please refer to the trouble
shooting section before contacting NetComm Technical Support.
