Select how Internet sessions are to be established via Connection mode:
– Select Always on if the connection is to exist at all times when the Gigaset SE551

WLAN dsl/cable is switched on.

– Select Connect on demand if applications such as a Web browser or an e-mail

program are to connect to the Internet automatically.

– In the Idle time before disconnect field, enter a period of time after which the

Internet connection is to be automatically ended if no data is transmitted (default
setting: 3 minutes).
You can deactivate this function by entering "0". This means that the connection

will continue to exist even if no data is transmitted. If you have a time-based tariff

this can cause high charges. In this case you should enter a value other than "0".
This time setting only applies to the Connect on demand option.

– Select Connect manually if you always want to establish and end the connection

to the Internet manually. If you have a time-based tariff this will save you high
connection charges. How to establish a connection manually is described on
page 122.

Click on Test Settings to check the Internet connection. The router will attempt to
connect to the Internet. Any Internet connection already in existence will be closed
first.
You will find information about the test steps and results on the Internet Connec-
tion Test screen.

When you have entered the data, click on Next >.

Activate UPnP if you wish to use this function.

Please remember:
If you have a time-based tariff this option can result in high connection
charges.
