You can disconnect calls manually or utilize timers to disconnect calls 
automatically.

To disconnect calls manually, do the following:

1 From the 56K LAN Modem home page, click Manual Calling.

The Manual Call Control window appears.

2 In the table, locate the name of the service provider from which you wish to 

disconnect and then verify that the call is active under the Status of Call column.

3 Click Hangup Call. 

A message indicates that the call is being disconnected. 

Disconnect timers are set via the Data Call Parameters window. Specifically, the 
parameters you can set are as follows.

Enter the minimum length of a call that must be reached before the 56K LAN 
Modem detects inactivity on the connection and then starts an inactivity timer. The 
default is two minutes, which is also the lowest value allowed for this field.

In the field Disconnect a data call after how long of an inactivity period?, enter the 
number of seconds after which a call should be disconnected due to inactivity. This 
timer is initiated once the minimum call duration is satisfied and no further activity 
is detected. To prevent a data call from being disconnected due to inactivity, enter 
0. The default for an automatic call is seven minutes. The default for a manual call 
is 15 minutes.

Some service providers, such as CompuServe

®

, require the use of a connection 

script to successfully log on to their remote servers. You can create and associate 
specific connection scripts with each of the LAN Modem’s four service provider 
profiles. 

Note that this option is provided only for those remote sites which do not offer 
automatic PPP negotiation. You may not be required to create a script for every 
service provider profile that you want to access from your LAN Modem. 

To create a connection script, you will need the following information from your 
service provider.

■

Your user name and password.

■

The Data Bits required by the remote server (either seven or eight). 

■

The Parity setting for the remote server (either none, even or odd).

■

The number of Stop Bits required by the remote server (either one or two).
