BEZEQ-ISRAEL
Select this item if you are using the service provided by BEZEQ in Israel.
Connection Type
If you select “
Continuous
”, the router will always connect to the ISP. If the WAN
line breaks down and links again, the router shall auto- reconnect to the ISP.
If you select “
Connect On Demand
”, the router will auto-connect to the ISP
when a client in LAN wants to use the Internet and keep connected until the
WAN idle timeout. The router will close the WAN connection if the time period
that no one is using the Internet exceeds the “Idle Time”.
If you select “
Manual
”, the router will connect to ISP only when you click
“Connect” manually from the Web user interface. The WAN connection will not
disconnect due to the idle timeout. If the WAN line breaks down and latter links
again, the router will not auto-connect to the ISP. Default:
Continuous.
Idle Time
You can specify an idle time threshold (minutes) for the WAN port. This means
if no packets have been sent (no one using the Internet) throughout this
specified period, the router will automatically disconnect to with your ISP.
Note:
This “idle timeout” function may not work due to abnormal activities of
some network application software, computer virus or hacker attacks from the
Internet. For example, some software sends network packets to the Internet in
the background, even when you are not using the Internet. So please turn off
your computer when you are not using it. This function also may not work with
some ISP. So please make sure this function can work properly, especially
when your ISP charges you by time used.
When the configuration finished please click “OK” to next step or click “Back” to previous step. After
press “OK”, you will see a web screen to prompt you the configurations save successfully. Please refer
to section 4.2.7 for the information of this screen.
