SMC Networks Barricade BR14VPN - Manual (Page 29)

Dial Up
Most Dial-up users will select this option to connect to their ISP through an analog dial-up
modem. This feature can be used as a back-up when your broadband connectivity is
unavailable. Enter the phone number, account name and password assigned to you by your
ISP. The baud rate is the communication rate between the broadband router and your
modem. Set this to the desired rate. If you have received DNS addresses from your ISP,
enter them here, otherwise leave these addresses at their default settings. The modem
initialization string setting is most commonly used to optimize the communication quality
between the ISP and your analog dial-up modem. If you are using the dial up modem as a
backup, Enable the “Auto Backup/Failover” option. Configure the Connect mode option to
the desired settings. “Always On Line” signifies that the broadband router will maintain your
Internet connection consistently and automatically connect to the Internet after any
disconnection. “Manual Connect” signifies that the broadband router will establish an
Internet connection only when the administrator logs into the web management and
manually presses the “Connect” button. While using the “Connect On Demand” option, if the
connection is inactive for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped and will
automatically re-establish the connection as soon as you attempt to access the Internet
again.
