Use this section to configure modem behavior on the TELE3 SP for WAN failover. The TELE3
SP has an autodetect feature that detects when the WAN Ethernet cable is physically
disconnected from the TELE3 SP and automatically dials the ISP whether or not Enable WAN
Failover is selected. You can override this feature by selecting Manual Dial for the modem
behavior. There are three types of dial-up behavior:
•
Persistent Connection - By selecting Persistent Connection, the modem dials
automatically when a WAN connection fails. If the Primary Profile cannot connect, the
modem uses the Secondary Profile to dial an ISP.
•
Dial on Data - Using Dial on Data requires that outbound data is detected before the
modem dials the ISP. Outbound data does not need to originate from computers on the
LAN, but can also be packets generated by the SonicWALLTELE3 SP internal applications
such as AutoUpdate and Anti-Virus. Also, if Enable WAN Failover is selected, the pings
generated by the Probe can trigger the modem to dial when no WAN Ethernet connection
is detected. If the Primary Profile cannot connect, the modem uses the Secondary
Profile to dial an ISP.
•
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.
Note: 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.
