made to the first profile, the second will be

tried. The i.LON 10 will alternate between
profiles until a connection is established or

until the number of retries specified by
Number of Retries to Use when

Attempting Outbound PPP Connection

Attempts on the Security Configuration Web
page has been reached. Each profile contains

the following options:

Username

The username to be used by the i.LON 10

Ethernet Adapter when connecting to an
ISP. This name can be up to 63 characters.
If you are using a GSM/GPRS modem, you

should leave this field blank.

Password

The password to be used by the i.LON 10

Ethernet Adapter when connecting to an

ISP. This password can be up to 63
characters.
If you are using a GSM/GPRS modem, you

should leave this field blank.

Phone Number

The phone number to be dialed by the i.LON

10 Ethernet Adapter for this profile. This
field accepts all alphanumeric characters and

the following additional characters:

- , ; ! @ * # =

This field may contain up to 63 characters
(no spaces).
If you are dialing a regular phone number

(i.e. not a packet switching connection like a
cell phone), it is recommended that you

append a ‘@’ to the end of your phone number

(e.g. 1-800-555-1212@). This will cause the
i.LON 10 to log “NO ANSWER” rather than

“NO CARRIER” if the phone is not answered.

This is important because the i.LON 10 will
stop dialing a number if it gets two “NO

CARRIER” responses, since it is assumed to
be a voice pickup and FCC regulations

prohibit more than two calls from a modem

to a voice-answered phone number.
If you are using a GSM/GPRS modem, you
should set this field to 99***1#.

Disconnect if Idle For

The idle timeout in seconds. If the

connection is idle for this length of time, the

call will be ended. By default, this value is
set to 1200 seconds. This value must be an

integer 0 or greater.
