Configuring the Advanced Settings

ìSelect how Internet sessions are to be established via the Connection mode:

–Select Always on if the connection is to remain set up when the Gigaset SE366 WLAN is switched on.

Note:

If you subscribe to a time-based service, 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 allowed 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 close down automatically if no data is transmitted (default setting: 3 minutes, range: 1 to 99 minutes).

This time setting only applies to the Connect on demand option. A permanent connection is achieved using the Always on option.

–Select Connect manually if you always want to establish and end the connection to the Internet manually. If you subscribe to a time-based service this will save you high connection charges. How to establish a connection manually is described on page 77.

ìClick Test Settings to check the Internet connection. The device will attempt to con- nect to the Internet. Any Internet connection already in existence will be closed first. This displays information on the tests that have been carried out and their results.

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

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