16.2 Demand Dial
225
If this option is not enabled, the route will be valid only until the operating system
is restarted or until removed manually in the Administration Console or using the
route command.
Removing routes from the Routing Table
Using the Remove button in the WinRoute admin console, records can be removed from
the routing table. The following rules are used for route removal:
• Static routes in the Static Routes folder are managed by WinRoute. Removal of any of
the static routes would remove the route from the system routing table immediately
and permanently (after clicking on the Apply button).
• Dynamic (system) route will be removed as well, regardless whether it was added in
the Administration Console or by the route command. However, it is not possible to
remove any route to a network which is connected to an interface.
• Persistent route of the operating system will be removed from the routing table only
after restart of the operating system. Upon reboot of the operating system, it will be
restored automatically. There are many methods that can be used to create persistent
routes (the methods vary according to operating system — in some systems, the
route -p command can be used, etc.). It is not possible to find out how a particular
persistent route was created and how it might be removed for good.
16.2 Demand Dial
If the WinRoute host is connected to the Internet via dial-up, WinRoute can automatically
dial the connection when users attempt to access the Internet. WinRoute provides the
following options of dialing/hanging control:
• Line is dialed when a request from the local network is received. This function is
called Demand dial. For further description see below.
• Line is disconnected automatically if idle for a certain period (no data is transmit-
ted in both directions). For a description of the automatic disconnection, refer to
chapter 5.1.
How demand dial works
First, the function of demand dial must be activated within the appropriate line (either
permanently or during a defined time period). This may be defined in Configuration →
Interfaces (for details see chapter 5.1).
