There are two basic types of dial-up accounts: analog and ISDN. Analog uses a
modem that connects to a regular telephone line (RJ-11 connector). ISDN is a
digital dial-up account type that uses a special telephone line.
On the appliance, you can use a dial-up account as your primary connection to
the Internet, or as a backup to your dedicated account. In backup mode, the
appliance automatically dials the ISP if the dedicated connection fails. The
appliance re-engages the dedicated account when it is stable; failover from the
primary connection to modem or from the modem to the primary connection
can take 30 to 60 seconds.
You can configure a primary dial-up account and a backup dial-up account. You
may configure a backup dial-up account if your primary dedicated account fails.
First, you must connect the modem to the appliance. Then, you use the SGMI to
configure the dial-up account.
You can also connect or disconnect your account manually at any time.
You must use an external modem for dial-up accounts. You connect the modem,
including ISDN modems, to the appliance through the serial port on the back of
the appliance. Figure 3-3
