Connect Mode
Auto or manual connect mode. Select Auto to enable
your modem to establish a connection automatically or
select Manual to connect or disconnect your modem
connection manually.
NOTE
On the SRP 521W, the Ethernet Connection
Recovery and Interface Connection Failover
works only if the Connection Mode is set to Auto.
If you select Auto, you must select Connect on
Demand and Keep Alive. If you select Connect on
Demand option, you can configure the Services
Ready Platform to terminate the Internet
connection after it has been inactive for a
specified period of time (Max Idle Time).
Connect on Demand enables the modem to
automatically re-establish a terminated connection
when a user attempts to access the Internet again. In the
Max Idle Time field, enter the number of minutes of
inactivity that can elapse before your Internet
connection terminates. The default is 5 minutes. The
Services Ready Platform periodically checks your
Internet connection. If you are disconnected, then it will
automatically re-establish your connection. To use this
option, select Keep Alive. In the Redial Period field,
specify how often you want the Services Ready
Platform to check the Internet connection. The default is
30 seconds.
