Q Can I still have a logical disconnection when in Auto mode?
A Yes! While AlphaShield™ is in auto mode your computer
connection is utilizing AlphaGap™, Real-Time Packet
Authorization (RPA) and IP Stealth. When you leave your
computer or you are leaving momentarily simply depress the
disconnect button and the AlphaShield™ will logically disconnect
your computer. This will be displayed by an illuminated red
disconnect LED.
Q Can I switch from Auto mode to Manual mode during a
connection session?
A Yes! If you are downloading or uploading a large file and you may
not be present when the file transfer is completed, but desire the
AlphaShield™ to logically disconnect after the transfer is complet-
ed, just switch to manual mode during the file transfer. Upon com-
pletion of the file transfer, the inactivity timeout will occur and the
AlphaShield™ logical disconnect will take place. You can also
select the lockout mode if a physical disconnection is desired.
Q Do I require Anti-virus software on my computer even
though I have an AlphaShield™ device connected in
line with my system?
A Yes! The AlphaShield™ cannot detect viruses destined to a
computer in a valid user session. To protect your operating system
and mitigate possible Trojans from entering the system via the
network connection or even a peripheral device, it is highly
recommended that you install an up-to-date Anti-virus package
on your computer.
