Halo S3
Connection Mode:
• Always On - In this mode, the internet connection will be active all the time.
• Connect on Demand - In this mode, the internet connection can be terminated
automatically after a specied inactivity period (Max Idle Time) and be reestablished
when you attempt to access the internet again. If you want to keep your internet
connection active all the time, please enter 0 in the Max Idle Time eld. Otherwise,
enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your internet access
disconnects.
• Connect Manually - You can click Connect/Disconnect to connect/disconnect
immediately. This mode also supports the Max Idle Time function as Connect on
Demand mode. The internet connection can be disconnected automatically after a
specied inactivity period (Max Idle Time) and not be able to re-establish when you
attempt to access the internet again.
Note: Sometimes the connection cannot be terminated although you have specied the Max Idle Time because
some applications are visiting the internet continually in the background.
4.3.2 LAN Settings
You can congure the IP parameters of LAN on this page.
• MAC Address - The physical address of the LAN ports, as seen from the LAN. The
value cannot be changed.
• IP Address - Enter the IP address of your Device in dotted-decimal notation (factory
default - 192.168.0.1).
• Subnet Mask - An address code that determines the size of the network. Usually it
is 255.255.255.0.
Note: If you change the IP address, you must use the new IP address to login to the Device. If the new LAN IP
address you set is not in the same subnet with the previous one, the IP Address pool in the DHCP server will be
congured automatically, but the Virtual Server and DMZ Host will not take eect until they are re-congured
