The duration of the connection is infinite, regardless of user activity. It is highly recommended that once the user has

completed his or her Internet session, the Disconnect button (Grey) is manually pressed to cause a Logical Disconnect.

Operation in Lock Mode:

When the Lock Mode is selected, a connection session must be manually initiated by pressing the Connect button (Blue) on

the AlphaShield. Once the Connect button (Blue) is pressed, the Connect (Center) LED will illuminate green to indicate to

the user that he or she is connected to the Internet or Network. After an inactivity period of 15 minutes, AlphaShield will

disconnect and enter into the Physical Disconnect state. In order to reconnect, press the Connect button (Blue).

NOTE: Physical disconnection may result in your computer releasing the IP Address assignment.

The Connect (Center) LED will always indicate the connection status of the AlphaShield device.

Gaming Mode can be enabled by pressing and holding down both the Grey and Blue buttons simultaneously for a few

seconds. The Gaming Mode was designed for technical users who prefer to configure their AlphaShields for personalize

usage. To utilize this mode, you will be required to download and install an AlphaShield Configuration Utility. You will need

to hold down the two buttons son the AlphaShield unit and press Configure on the AlphaShield Configuration Utility to

initiate the new settings. The AlphaShield Configuration Utility program will allow you to enter the IP Address of the

remote computer or the Port Addresses of your computer that you prefer to leave open for remote access or for hosting

games. This mode will also enable you to use VPN connections to access your secure Network or Computer. File Transfers

as well as Video and Voice Communications with Instant Messengers such as MSN, AOL, Yahoo, etc. can also be utilized in

this mode.

NOTE: Please be advised that utilizing this mode decreases the level of security for your Computer or Network.

In order to disable the Gaming Mode, first press the Disconnect button (Grey) and then the Connect button (Blue). This will

automatically reset the AlphaShield to one of the other modes.

Once connected, by pressing the Connect button (Blue) in the Manual or Lock Mode, the Connect (Center) LED will remain

a solid green if there is any communication activity between the AlphaShield ports. If inactivity occurs for a period of 30

seconds less than the 15 minute timer value (i.e. 14 min. and 30 sec.), the Connect (Center) LED will start flashing green to

indicate an impending logical disconnection within 30 seconds.

The client session can be extended by the user, when the Connect (Center) LED is flashing, by pressing the Connect button

(Blue) within the 30 second warning window.

Once the Connect button (Blue) is pressed, the timer value will reset to the pre-selected value of 15 minutes and the Connect

(Center) LED will return to a solid green indicating an ongoing session.

packet is accepted by the AlphaShield. It will flash green under normal traffic conditions.

packets will not be permitted through by the AlphaShield. A high occurrence of illegitimate packets will be displayed by

flashing red.
