• Connection Mode
- Select an appropriate connection mode that determines how to
connect to the internet.

- In this mode, the internet connection will be terminated automatically
after a specified inactivity period (Max Idle Time) and be re-established when you
attempt to access the internet again.
• Time-based
- In this mode, the internet connection is only established in a specific
timeframe. If this option is selected, enter the start time and end time. Both are in
HH:MM format.
• Manual
- In this mode, the internet connection is controlled manually by clicking the
Connect/Disconnect
button. This mode also supports the
Max Idle Time
function
as

mode. Enter a maximum time (in minutes), the internet connection
can be inactive before it is terminated into the Max Idle Time. The default value is
15 minutes. If you want the internet connection remains active all the time, enter 0
(zero).
Note:
Sometimes the connection cannot be terminated although you have specified the
Max Idle Time
because some applications
are visiting the internet continually in the background.
