you do not have a flatrate for your internet connection. This will
help you to save valuable online time.
When using a flatrate activate the option keep the Internet Con-
nection open. The HorstBox will stay online permanently.
Define the period of inactivity before disconnecting, e.g. 5 min-
utes.
Note: Some programs, e.g. anti-virus software or firewall will
connect to the internet periodically.
If the option automatic on the tab SYSTEM , page TIME is
activated, the HorstBox will connect to a NTP server in
the internet in regular intervals to adjust the system time.
This may influence volume or time-based tariffs.
Some ISPs will disconnect a permanent internet connection once
a day.
By activating the option Putting off the forced disconnection by
your provider you can put off the forced disconnection to a more
suitable point of time, e.g. between 3 and 4 o’clock in the morn-
ing.
If you plan to use VoIP, make sure to book a flatrate, to receive
in-bound calls around the clock.
If you activate the option disconnect automatically after inactivity ,
in-bound VoIP calls will not be routed to the HorstBox. Out-bound
calls need to establish a connection to the Internet first.
Note: Use a flatrate to connect to the Internet to save and reduce
costs.
