automatically after a specied inactivity period (Max Idle Time) and be re-
established when you attempt to access the internet again.
• Time-based - In this mode, the internet connection is only established in
a specic timeframe. If this option is selected, enter the start time and end

clicking the Connect/Disconnect button. This mode also supports the Max
Idle Time function as On Demand mode. Enter a maximum time (in minutes),
the internet connection can be inactive before it is terminated into the Max
Idle Time. The default value is 15 minutes. If you want the internet connection
remains active all the time, enter 0 (zero).

are visiting the internet continually in the background.
