Monitoring dial-up account status
You can view and refresh the status of your dial-up account connection.
To monitor dial-up account status
See "Dial-up Backup & Analog/ISDN tab field descriptions"
1 In the SGMI, in the left pane, click WAN/ISP.
2 On the Dial-up Backup & Analog/ISDN tab, scroll to Analog Status.
3 To refresh the dial-up account status, on the Dial-up Backup & Analog/ISDN
tab, under Modem Settings, click Refresh.
Advanced connection settings let you control your connectivity parameters
more closely. If you have a DHCP connection, you can configure the renew
settings. For PPPoE accounts, you can configure echo requests. For all
connection types, you can specify packet size by setting the Maximum Transfer
Unit (MTU).
If you selected DHCP as your connection type, you can tell the appliance when to
send a renew request, which tells the ISP to allocate a new IP address to the
appliance.
You can tell the appliance at any time to request a new IP address, by forcing a
DHCP renew. However, you should only do this if requested by Symantec
Technical Support.
