Description
Select the SnapGear VPN Router COM (serial) port that you will
use for the modem that will dial your ISP. This port will then be
dedicated for the Internet connection. Any attempt to dial in on this
COM port will be blocked.
Note: If a port was previously setup for dial-in and it is
subsequently enabled for Internet access, then the dial-in function
will be automatically disabled.
Enter the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Enter the number to dial to reach your Internet provider. If you are
behind a PABX that requires you to dial a prefix such as 0 or 9 for
an outside line, be sure to include the appropriate prefix.
Enter the DNS server address supplied by your ISP.
Enter the unique username (login) given to you by your Internet
provider and the corresponding password. Note that Confirm
Password must match Password.
By default, the SnapGear VPN Router dials-on-demand (when
there is traffic trying to reach the Internet) and disconnects if the
connection is inactive (no traffic to or from the Internet) for 15
minutes. If using dial-on-demand, you can set this value to be
anywhere in the range of 0 – 99 minutes.
Selecting Stay Connected will disable the idle timeout.
