Modes of Operation:
Operation in Manual Mode:
When the Manual Mode is selected, a connection session must be manually initiated by
pressing the Connect button (Blue) on the AlphaShield Home Edition. Once the Connect
button (Blue) is pressed, the Connect (Center) LED will illuminate green to indicate to
the user that he or she is connected to the Internet or Network. After an inactivity period
of 15 minutes, AlphaShield Home Edition will disconnect and enter into a Logical
Disconnect state. In order to reconnect, press the Connect button (Blue).
The Connect (Center) LED will always indicate the connection status of the AlphaShield
Home Edition device.
Operation in Auto Mode:
When the Auto Mode is selected, a connection session must be initiated by pressing the
Connect button (Blue). The Connect (Center) LED will illuminate a solid green to
indicate that the AlphaShield Home Edition is in a connected state.
The duration of the connection is infinite, regardless of user activity. It is highly
recommended that once the user has completed his or her Internet session, the Disconnect
button (Grey) is manually pressed to cause a Logical Disconnect.
Operation in Lock Mode:
When the Lock Mode is selected, a connection session must be manually initiated by
pressing the Connect button (Blue) on the AlphaShield Home Edition. Once the Connect
button (Blue) is pressed, the Connect (Center) LED will illuminate green to indicate to
the user that he or she is connected to the Internet or Network. After an inactivity period
of 15 minutes, AlphaShield Home Edition will disconnect and enter into the Physical
Disconnect state. In order to reconnect, press the Connect button (Blue).
NOTE: Physical disconnection may result in your computer releasing the IP Address
assignment.
The Connect (Center) LED will always indicate the connection status of the AlphaShield
Home Edition device.
AlphaShield Time-Out Warning:
Once connected, by pressing the Connect button (Blue) in the Manual or Lock Mode, the
Connect (Center) LED will remain a solid green if there is any communication activity
between the AlphaShield Home Edition ports. If inactivity occurs for a period of 30
seconds less than the 15-minute timer value (i.e. 14 min. and 30 sec.), the Connect
(Center) LED will start flashing green to indicate an impending logical disconnection
within 30 seconds.
