The Internet connection’s Enabled/Disabled status is persistent through Safe@Office
appliance reboots.

Internet page, you can establish a quick Internet connection using the currently-selected

The Internet connection retains its Connected/Not Connected status until the Safe@Office
appliance is rebooted. The Safe@Office appliance then connects to the Internet if the
connection is enabled. For information on enabling an Internet connection, see
