Basic Setup Wizard

Please remember:

Connection to the Internet is only possible if you have entered all the data for your Internet provider correctly.

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 SX541 WLAN dsl is switched on.

Please remember:

This option can result in high connection charges if you have a time-based tariff.

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 request 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 123.

Please remember:

You must set the option Always on if you want to operate Internet telephony.

ìClick Test Settings to check the Internet connection. The router will attempt to con- nect 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.
