Configuring the TELE3 SP Modem Connection Page 63
•Manual Dial - Selecting Manual Dial for a Primary Profile means that WAN Failover does not
automatically occur. Manual Dial requires you to log into the SonicWALL, click Modem, then
Configure. Click Connect and the modem uses the Primary Profile information to dial an ISP.
Alert If you are configuring two dial-up profiles for WAN failover, the modem behavior should be the
same for each profile. For example, if your Primary Profile uses Persistent Connection, your
Secondary Profile should also use Persistent Connection.
1. Select Persistent Connection if you want the modem connection to stay active until the WAN
Ethernet connection is reactivated. If you want the modem to dial the ISP only when there is
data to transmit, select Dial on Data. Select Manual Dial to dial up the connection only when
you want to dial the ISP as in the case of traveling with the SP.
Alert If you enable Persistent Connection for the modem, the modem connection remains active
until the WAN Ethernet connection is reactivated or you force disconnection by clicking Disconnect
on the Configure page.
2. Enter the number of minutes a dial-up connection is allowed to be inactive in the Inactivity
Timeout (minutes) field. The default value is five (5) minutes.
3. Select the connection speed from the Max Connection Speed (bps) menu.
Auto is the default setting as the TELE3 SP automatically detects the connection speed when it
connects to the ISP.
4. Select Maximum Connection Time (minutes) if the connection is terminated after the specified
time. Enter the number of minutes for the connection to be active. The value can range from 0
to 1440 minutes. This feature does not conflict with Inactivity Timeout. If both features are
configured, the connection is terminated based on the shortest configured time.
5. If you select Maximum Connection Time (minutes), enter the number of minutes to delay before
redialing the ISP in the Delay Before Reconnect. The value can range from 0 to 1440, and the
default value is 0 which means there is no delay before reconnecting to the ISP.
6. Select Disable VPN when Dialed if VPN Security Associations (SAs) are disabled when the
modem connects to the ISP. Terminating the dial-up connection re-enables the VPN SAs. This is
useful if you want to deploy your own point-to-point RAS network and want packets to be sent
in the clear to your intranets.
7. If you have call waiting on your telephone line, you should disable it or another call can interrupt
your connection to your ISP. Select Disable Call Waiting and then select command from the list.
If you do not see your command listed, select Other, and enter the command in the field.
8. If the phone number for your ISP is busy, you can configure the number of times that the
SonicWALL modem attempts to connect in the Dial Retries per Phone Number field. The default
value is zero (0).
9. Enter the number of seconds between attempts to redial in the Delay Between Retries
(seconds) field. The default value is five (5) seconds.
10. Click Update to add the dial-up profile to the SonicWALL.
