Configuring the Advanced Settings

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 result in high charges. In this case you should enter a value other than "0".

This time setting only applies to the Connect on demand 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 90.

ìClick on Test Settings to check the Internet connection. The router will attempt to connect to the Internet. Any Internet connection already in existence will be closed first.

You will then be returned to the Internet Connection screen. If necessary, you can now amend your entries.

ìIf the test was successful, click on OK to apply the settings.
