Basic Setup Wizard

ìSelect 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 SE551 WLAN dsl/cable is switched on.

Please remember:

If you have a time-based tariff this option can result in high connection charges.

–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 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 122.

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 find information about the test steps and results on the Internet Connec- tion Test screen.
