Connect Button

Used to re-establish a new connection after either a logical or physical

disconnect. The AlphaShield™ connect button is functional in the

manual, auto, and lockout mode.

In Manual mode, the connect button must be depressed to re-

establish a logical connection after a disconnection. In

manual mode the logical disconnection is due to either the

inactivity timer value expiring or the disconnect button

being manually depressed by the user. The Lockout

mode provides the same functionality except with a

physical disconnect.

In Auto mode, there is no inactivity disconnect timer

function. Connections do not time out and should be

manually disconnected by depressing the disconnect

button upon completion of the user Internet session.

Disconnect Button

The disconnect button will logically or physically disconnect (depend-

ing on user mode selection) any user session currently in progress.

The AlphaShield™ disconnect button is functional in

the manual, auto, and lockout mode.

The disconnect button will provide a logical or

physical disconnect immediately after being depressed.

This button can be depressed at any time to invoke a ses-

sion disconnection by the user. This can be used if the

Inbound or Outbound Data LED’s are showing excessive

intrusion activity.

NOTE: Regardless of the mode currently in use, it is recom-

mended that the user depresses the disconnect button when he or she

has completed his or her user activity on the Internet or network. This

will ensure the highest level of security. It will eventually disconnect in

the Manual and Lockout Mode.
