If the FortiGate unit is operating in NAT/Route mode, you can use the FortiGate
modem interface as either a backup interface or standalone interface.
• In backup mode, the modem interface automatically takes over from a selected
ethernet interface when that ethernet interface is unavailable.
• In standalone mode, the modem interface is the connection from the FortiGate unit
to the Internet.
When connecting to the ISP, in either configuration, the FortiGate unit modem can
automatically dial up to three dialup accounts until the modem connects to an ISP.

Configure modem settings so that the FortiGate unit uses the modem to connect to
your ISP dialup accounts. You can configure the modem to connect to up to three
dialup accounts. You can also enable and disable FortiGate modem support,
configure how the modem dials, and select the FortiGate interface that the modem is
redundant for.
