Important Information
IMPoRTANT INfoRMATIoN REGARDING YoUR
INTERNET SUBScRIPTIoN
Users who subscribe to limited or "pay as you use" broadband internet
access.
In the WAN configuration settings, there is a parameter called Maximum idle timer. This
parameter controls how many seconds of inactivity before dropping connection to the internet.
The default setting is "0" which disables this functionality and the internet will be connected all
the time. We suggest that you should change the Maximum idle timer to "300" (5 minutes) so
that the device will drop the line after 5 minutes of inactivity and keep usage costs down.
Users who subscribe to unlimited broadband internet access.
You can just leave this parameter unchanged or enable Auto-reconnect to be always on line.
Technical notes:
The Maximum idle timer is only relevant if your ISP is using a PPPoE connection.
