Your Internet service provider may disconnect and reconnect your Internet connec-

tion daily. In this case enable

24h reconnection

and choose the period of time in

which the reconnection should be performed from the

option

menu.

ì

Specify how Internet sessions are to be established via

Connection mode

:

–

Select

Always on

if the connection is to exist at all times when the Giga762SX

WLAN dsl is turned on.

–

Select

Connect on demand

if applications such as an Internet browser or an e-

mail program are to connect to the Internet automatically.

–

In the

Idle time before disconnect

field, enter a period after which the Internet

connection is to end automatically if no data is transmitted (the default setting is

3 minutes).

You can deactivate this function by entering "0". This means that the connection

will continue to exist even if no data is transmitted. If you are on a time-based tar-

iff, this can result in high charges. In this case you should enter a value other than

"0".

This time setting only applies to the

Connect on demand

and

Connect manu-

ally

options.

Select

Connect manually

if you always want to establish and end the Internet

connection manually. If you are on a time-based tariff this will save you high con-

nection charges.
