Name
12.2.5.2 Enter a name for this WAN connection.
Click the box to enable the connection.
This setting specifies the utilization of the WAN connection. Always-on results in the
WAN connection being used whenever it is available. If Backup is selected, the WAN
connection is treated as a backup connection and is used only in the absence of an
available always-on WAN. The default and recommended connection type is Always-
on.
This option allows you to choose whether to remain connected or disconnect when this
WAN connection is no longer in the highest priority and has entered the standby state.
When Remain connected is chosen and this WAN connection is made active, the WAN
connection will be immediately available for use.
With this option enabled, an idle connection will be disconnected after a specified period
of time. This time value specified is global and will affect all WAN profiles. The mobile
connection will re-establish on demand.
If this field is disabled, the WAN connection will not respond to ICMP ping requests. By
default, this setting is enabled.
