Configuring the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter for Dial-out
The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter can be configured to dial-out when it needs to
form an uplink communication with the LNS Server. To configure the i.LON 10
Ethernet adapter to dial-out to an ISP, follow these steps:
1. If Allow Access to Secure Pages Without a Security Access Reset is
not enabled on the Security Web page, perform a security access reset as
described in Performing a Security Access Reset in Chapter 5.
2. Click Security to open the i.LON 10 Security Configuration Web page.
3. If it is not already checked, check the Allow Access to Secure Pages
Without a Security Access Reset option, click Submit, and then wait for
the i.LON 10 to reboot.
4. Ensure that the Enable Outbound PPP Calls checkbox is set.
5. Set Number of Retries to Use When Attempting Outbound PPP
Connection Attempts.
6. If Enable Ethernet is checked, check Use PPP as Dial Backup when
Ethernet Link Fails. If this is not set, the i.LON 10 will never attempt to
dial out.
7. Click Submit.
8. Click General to open the General Setup Web page.
9. Enter the IP address or hostname (if DNS is enabled) for an LNS Server in
LNS Server 1. Optionally set LNS Server 2 and LNS Server 3 to
configure backup LNS Servers.
10. Set at least one of the Initiate Session when an NV/Explicit Message of
the Following Types Destined for the LNS Host is Received options so
a uplink connection will be attempted when the specified type of network
variable or explicit message is sent to the host.
11. Click Submit.
12. Click PPP to open the i.LON 10 PPP Configuration Web page.
13. Set the ISP phone number, user name, password, and initialization string
under Profile 1 and Profile 2 as described under The i.LON 10 Ethernet
Adapter PPP Configuration Page, earlier in this chapter.
14. Click Submit.
When the i.LON 10 needs to communicate with the LNS Server (as determined
by the Initiate Session options on the General Configuration Web page) it will
attempt to dial the number configured in Profile 1; if no connection is
established, it will attempt the number configured in Profile 2; both numbers
will be retried up to the number of times specified by the Number of Retries
option set in step 3.
