Description
Connect Mode
Auto or manual connect mode. Select Auto to enable
your modem to establish a connection automatically or
select Manual to connect or disconnect your modem
connection manually.
NOTE
The Ethernet Connection Recovery and Interface
Connection Failover works only if the Connection
Mode is set to Auto. If you select Auto, you must
select Connect on Demand and Keep Alive. If you
select Connect on Demand option, you can
configure the gateway to terminate the Internet
connection after it has been inactive for a
specified period of time (Max Idle Time).
Connect on Demand enables the modem to
automatically re-establish a terminated connection
when a user attempts to access the Internet again. In the
Max Idle Time field, enter the number of minutes of
inactivity that can elapse before your Internet
connection terminates. The default is 5 minutes. The
gateway periodically checks your Internet connection. If
you are disconnected, then it will automatically re-
establish your connection. To use this option, select
Keep Alive. In the Redial Period field, specify how often
you want the gateway to check the Internet connection.
The default is 30 seconds.

there will be a button that you can click to connect or
disconnect your Modem.

which card model was inserted and which carrier is
available. Select Manual to set up the connection
manually. The default setting is Auto.
