Connect on Demand: Max Idle Time. You can configure the Router to cut the Internet connection after it has
been inactive for a specified period of time (Max Idle Time). If your Internet connection has been terminated
due to inactivity, Connect on Demand enables the Router to automatically re-establish your connection as
soon as you attempt to access the Internet again. If you wish to activate Connect on Demand, click the
Connect on Demand option and enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet
connection terminates in the Max Idle Time field. Use this option to minimize your DSL connection time if it is
charged based on time. This option is disabled by default.

Router to check the Internet connection. This option is enabled by default and the default Redial Period is 30
