Using Auto-Redirection

possible solutions. Auto-Redirection will detect the following conditions:

In each situation, the Web page displayed informs the user as to the nature of the problem and possible solutions. In cases
where the user is trying to access a specific URL (example: http://www.Westell.com) outside the local network but has not
established a PPP connection, the user will be automatically directed to the Home Page that indicates the session is idle.
When the user makes the connection, they will be instantly redirected to the URL that was initially requested.
