be configured to wait for manual intervention. |
To have the modem connect automatically, select

disconnect after idle for __ min. The router will connect whenever an
outbound connection request is made from a computer on the LAN. The connection
will be terminated if no data transfer occurs during the specified time
interval. |
Select
Connect and disconnect manually to disable auto
dialing and allow manual control over connecting via dial-up. To connect
manually, click the Dial-Up Status link at the top of the page and then click

If your ISP has assigned a static IP address, select
