Configuring the modem interface Network configuration
Connecting a modem to the FortiGate unit
The FortiGate unit can operate with most standard external serial interface modems
that support standard Hayes AT commands. To connect, install a USB-to-serial
converter between one of the two USB ports on the FortiGate unit and the serial port
on the modem. The FortiGate unit does not support a direct USB connection between
the two devices.

your ISP dialup accounts. You can configure the modem to connect to up to three
dialup accounts. You can also enable and disable FortiGate modem support,
configure how the modem dials, and select the FortiGate interface that the modem is
redundant for.
