Configure the Connect mode option to the desired settings. “Always On Line” signifies that
the broadband router will maintain your Internet connection consistently and automatically
connect to the Internet after any disconnection. “Manual Connect” signifies that the
broadband router will establish an Internet connection only when the administrator logs into
the web management and manually presses the “Connect” button. While using the “Connect
On Demand” option, if the connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it
will be dropped and will automatically re-establish the connection as soon as you attempt to
access the Internet again.
