settings. Currently, this includes controlling the AT dial commands and entering a
modem password if required by the device.

6.3.1

Typically modem connections are not always on. The

CradlePoint router allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are:



Always on.

A connection to the Internet is always maintained.



On demand.

A connection to the Internet is made as needed.



Manual.

You have to open up the Web-based management interface and

click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the
Internet.

Maximum Idle Time.

Time interval (in minutes) the machine can be idle before the

modem connection is disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for
the

Manual

reconnect modes.

6.3.2

Global Connection Settings

This section is for changing the connection settings for any modem plugged into the
router.

Aggressive Modem Reset.

Some modems tend to become unresponsive or

unable to maintain a connection for a long period of time. This setting uses more
aggressive techniques to get the modem to reset and reconnect.
