◆ Maximum idle time: sets the maximum idle time value of the vro. If no data flow passes through this time period, the connection is automatically disconnected.

After completing the preceding settings, click "Next" to display the DNS settings page, and manually set the DNS server address. After completing the preceding settings, click "finish" to display the settings page. Click "continue" to return to the system settings page and complete the settings wizard.
