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. To use Connect on Demand, click the radio
button. If you want your Internet connection to remain on at all times, enter 0 in the Max Idle Time field.
Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before your Internet access disconnects.

button next to Keep Alive. The default Redial Period is 30 seconds.
