The Cost Control page
For your convenience, the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem groups the most commonly used options for reducing your ISDN charges on the Cost Control page.
To define Cost Control settings
Click Cost Control on the Manual configuration menu. The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem displays the following page:
Idle timer
Each profile has its own idle timer. The idle timer controls how long a data call stays connected when no traffic is being sent or received. When the idle timer expires, the DIVA LAN ISDN Modem disconnects the call at the end of the next billing interval.
If you set the idle timer to 0, the call will never be disconnected due to an absence of traffic, and you will have to disconnect the call manually. This can be useful for AO/DI connections.
To set the idle timer
1.On the Cost Control page, click the name of the profile you want to adjust the idle timer for. The DIVA LAN ISDN Modem displays the Connection profile parameters page.
