Connect on demand
The connect on demand feature keeps the Packet Data Protocol (PDP) context deactivated by default while making it appear that
the router has a permanent connection to the mobile broadband network to locally connected devices. When a packet of interest
arrives or an SMS wake-up command is received, the router attempts to establish a mobile broadband data connection. When the
data connection is established, the router monitors traffic and terminates the link when it is idle.
Note: When interesting packets arrive, the recovery time for the wireless WAN connection is approximately 20-30 seconds.
Configuring connect on demand
To configure Connect on demand:
1.
Click the Networking menu item from the top menu bar.
2.

Setting the router to dial a connection when traffic is detected on specific ports
In some situations, you may wish to have the internet connection disabled except at times when outbound traffic to a particular
external host’s port or range of ports is sent to the router. To use this feature, click
Enable dial port filter and enter the port number
or list of port numbers separated by commas. When you select this option, all outbound ICMP/TCP/UDP packets to any remote
host on the specified port(s) will trigger the connection to dial. Note that when this feature is enabled, the options to ignore specific
packet types are not available.

Ignore Microsoft network awareness (NCSI) traffic toggle key to set it to ON.
