zTips

•When the Access Point is in the automatic connection mode, starting an e-mail or browser application causes a dial-up attempt to be made. To place the Access Point in the automatic connection mode, use the Custom Setup Utility. For more information, see the Custom Access Point Setup Utility Help.

•The Access Point does not automatically disconnect a connection to the Internet when an e-mail or browser application is closed on a single computer in order to allow multiple computers to have simultaneous Internet access. Thus, to disconnect the dial-up connection, you must follow the above steps.

The Access Point automatically disconnects the dial-up connection if no communication is made within two minutes.

This disconnect period may be changed with the Custom Setup Utility. For further information, see the Custom Access Point Setup Utility Help.
