Does the setup wizard know your Internet provider?
A convenient wizard is available to help you set up Internet access. The wizard
knows the access information of major Internet providers and will offer you a
list of providers to choose from. If you find your Internet service provider on
this list, you normally will not have to enter any further transfer parameters to
configure your Internet access. Only the authentication data that are supplied
by your provider are required.

automatically close existing connections if no data has been trans-

In addition, you can activate a line monitor that identifies inactive
remote stations faster and therefore can close the connection before
the idle time has elapsed.
