modem router will show the default Dial Number and APN of that ISP.
¾ Always on: Connect automatically after the modem router is disconnected. This option is
enabled by default.
¾ Connect on demand: Connect on demand is dependent on the traffic. If there is no traffic (or
Idle) for a pre-specified period of time (Max Idle Time), the connection will tear down
automatically. And once there is traffic send or receive, the connection will be automatically on.
If you want your Internet connection to remain active at all times, enter 0 in the Max Idle Time
field.

Sometimes the connection cannot be disconnected although you specify a time to Max Idle
Time because some applications visit the Internet continually in the background.
