DI-1162/DI-1162M Remote Access Router

Dial Configuration
You can configure the two WAN interfaces on your DI-1162/DI-1162M to dial-out only when a packet is
forwarded to that interface, and hang up after all data has been transferred and the link is idle. This can be
used to lower the cost of an unpopular link or used as a backup link to your ISP. This feature is commonly
called “Dial on Demand”. WAN interfaces can also be configured here to receive calls from dial in users and
other networks, called “Remote Access”. Please note however, that in all cases, after configuring the WAN
interfaces in the
Dial Configuration
submenu, they must be further configured in the
Dial-In User Profile
submenu or
Remote Network Profile
submenu.
