Always On
- In this mode, the internet connection will be active all the time.
•
Connect on Demand
- In this mode, the internet connection can be terminated
automatically after a specified inactivity period (Max Idle Time) and be re-
established when you attempt to access the internet again. If you want to keep
your internet connection active all the time, please enter 0 in the
Max Idle Time
field. Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before
your internet access disconnects.
•
Connect Manually
- You can click
Connect/Disconnect
to connect/disconnect
immediately. This mode also supports the
Max Idle Time
function as
Connect
on Demand
mode. The internet connection can be disconnected automatically
after a specified inactivity period (Max Idle Time) and not be able to re-establish
when you attempt to access the internet again.
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.
