Disconnecting from an Internet Session
If you have finished browsing the Internet and want to disconnect from your ISP, click the
Add/Edit Connection
link from the
Broadband Connection
panel. The following
Home > Connection Overview
screen will appear.
Click

IMPORTANT:
If you disconnect the PPP session, this will disconnect the Gateway from the Internet, and Internet
access for all users connected to the Gateway will be down until the PPP session is re-established.
If you clicked the
disconnect
button in the
Home > Connection Overview
screen, after a brief moment,
PPP
Status
should display DOWN. This means that you no longer have a PPP session. However, your DSL session will
not be affected. When you are ready to end your DSL session, simply turn off the Gateway via the
POWER
switch
on the Gateway’s rear panel.
When you are ready to establish a PPP session again, click the
connect
button in the
Home > Connection
Overview
screen. If you have previously turned off the Gateway, first turn on the Gateway, and then log on to your
account profile to establish a PPP session.
