If you are not sure how your Internet Access should be configured, contact your IS department. Two
basic
types of connection are offered. An “Always-On Internet Connection” means that the connection
will normally always be available, and the AT&T AC8200 will try to re-establish connectivity if the
connection is lost. The other type is for where an Internet connection is only established when required.
This is commonly used where having a connection up at all times may be expensive and there are
periods of time when the connection is not required. Continue configuration from the section
appropriate to your connection type.
