• Username/Password - Enter the username and password provided by your ISP. These
fields are case-sensitive.

or Static IP. Click the Connect button to connect immediately. Click the Disconnect
button to disconnect immediately.
• Server IP Address/Name - Enter server IP address or domain name provided by your
ISP.
• MTU(Bytes) - The default MTU size is 1460 bytes, which is usually fine. It is not
recommended that you change the default MTU Size unless required by your ISP.
• Connection Mode
• Always on - In this mode, the internet connection will be active all the time.
• Connect on demand - In this mode, the internet connection can be terminated
automatically after a specified inactivity period (Max Idle Time) and be re-
established when you attempt to access the internet again. If you want to keep
your internet connection active all the time, please enter 0 in the Max Idle Time
field. Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want to have elapsed before
your internet access disconnects.
• Connect manually - You can click Connect/Disconnect to connect/disconnect
immediately. This mode also supports the Max Idle Time function as Connect
on demand mode. The internet connection can be disconnected automatically
after a specified inactivity period (Max Idle Time) and not be able to re-establish
when you attempt to access the internet again.
Note:
Sometimes the connection cannot be terminated although you have specified the Max Idle Time because some
applications are visiting the internet continually in the background.
