when it is down.

Connect Manually
- You can click

to connect/disconnect
immediately. This mode also supports the

function as

mode. The Internet connection can be disconnected automatically
after a specified 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 specified the
Max Idle Time
because some
applications are visiting the Internet continually in the background.
