Note: If you don't know how to choose the appropriate connection type, click the Detect button to allow the Device to automatically search your Internet connection for servers and protocols. The connection type will be reported when an active Internet service is successfully detected by the Device. This report is for your reference only. To make sure the connection type your ISP provides, please refer to the ISP. The various types of Internet connections that the Device can detect are as follows:
User Name/Password - Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP. These fields are case-sensitive.
Secondary Connection - Secondary Connection - It's available only for PPPoE Connection. If your ISP provides an extra Connection type such as Dynamic/Static IP to connect to a local area network, then you can check the radio button of Dynamic/Static IP to activate this secondary connection.
Connect on Demand - You can configure the Device to disconnect your Internet connection after a specified period of the Internet connectivity (Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has been terminated due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Device to automatically re-establish your connection when you attempt to access the Internet again. If you wish to activate Connect on Demand, put a check mark in the circle. If you want your Internet connection to remain active all the times, enter 0 in the Max Idle Time field.
Note: Sometimes the connection cannot be disconnected although you specify a time to Max Idle Time(0~99 mins) because some applications visit the Internet continually in the background.
Connect Automatically - Connect automatically after the Device is disconnected. To use this option, click the radio button.
Time-based Connecting - You can configure the Device to make it connect or disconnect based on time. Enter the start time in HH-MM for connecting and end time in HH-MM for disconnecting in the Period of Time fields.
Connect Manually - You can configure the Device to make it connect or disconnect manually. After a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time), the Device will disconnect your Internet connection, and not be able to re-establish your connection automatically as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. To use this option, click the radio button. If you want your Internet connection to remain active all the times, enter 0 in the Max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number in minutes that you wish to have the Internet connecting last unless a new link requested.
Note: Sometimes the connection cannot be disconnected although you specify a Max Idle Time(0~99 mins) because some applications visit the Internet continually in the background.
