Connect on Demand - You can configure the Device to disconnect from your Internet connection after a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has been terminated due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Device to automatically re-establish your connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. If you wish to activate Connect on Demand, check the radio button. If you want your Internet connection to remain active at all times, enter “0” in the Max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet connection terminates.

Connect Automatically - Connect automatically after the Device is disconnected. To use this option, check the radio button.

Connect Manually - You can configure the Device to make it connect or disconnect manually. After a specified period of inactivity (Max Idle Time), the Device will disconnect from your Internet connection, and you will not be able to re-establish your connection automatically as soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. To use this option, click the radio button. If you want your Internet connection to remain active at all times, enter "0" in the Max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number in minutes that you wish to have the Internet connecting last unless a new link is requested.

Note:

Sometimes the connection cannot be disconnected although you specify a time to Max Idle Time because some applications are visiting the Internet continually in the background.

Click the Save button to save your settings.

5.6.2MAC Clone

MAC Clone allows you to clone the MAC address of the managing PC’s adapter to the WAN port. This is because some ISPs require that you register the MAC address of your adapter. Usually, you do not need to change anything here.

Selecting Network > MAC Clone will enable you to configure the MAC address of the WAN port on this page as shown in Figure 5-13.

Figure 5-13 MAC Address Clone

Some ISPs require that you register the MAC Address of your adapter, which is connected to your cable/DSL Modem or Ethernet during installation. Changes are rarely needed here.

WAN MAC Address - This field displays the current MAC address of the WAN port, which is used for the WAN port. If your ISP requires that you register the MAC address, please enter the correct MAC address into this field. The format for the MAC Address is XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX (X is any hexadecimal digit).

Your PC's MAC Address - This field displays the MAC address of the PC that is managing the router. If the MAC address is required, you can click the Clone MAC Address button and this MAC address will fill in the WAN MAC Address field.

Click Restore Factory MAC to restore the MAC address of WAN port to the factory default value.
