Table 7-6 Dial Backup Setup

Select this check box to turn on dial backup.
Type the login name assigned by your ISP.
Type the password assigned by your ISP.
Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is correctly.
Use the drop-down list box to select an authentication protocol for outgoing calls.
Options are:
CHAP/PAP - Your ZyWALL accepts either CHAP or PAP when requested by this
remote node.
CHAP - Your ZyWALL accepts CHAP only.
PAP - Your ZyWALL accepts PAP only.
Type the first (primary) phone number from the ISP for this remote node. If the
Primary Phone number is busy or does not answer, your ZyWALL dials the
Secondary Phone number if available. Some areas require dialing the pound sign #
before the phone number for local calls. Include a # symbol at the beginning of the
phone numbers as required.
Use the drop-down list box to select the speed of the connection between the Dial
Backup port and the external device. Available speeds are: 9600, 19200, 38400,
57600, 115200 or 230400 bps.
Type the AT command string to initialize the WAN device. Consult the manual of
your WAN device connected to your Dial Backup port for specific AT commands.
Click Edit to display the Advanced Setup screen and edit the details of your dial
backup setup.
This field sets this route's priority among the three routes the ZyWALL uses (normal,
traffic redirect and dial backup). Type a number (1 to 15) to set the priority of the dial
backup route for data transmission. The smaller the number, the higher the priority.
If the three routes have the same metrics, the priority of the routes is as follows:
WAN, Traffic Redirect, Dial Backup.
Type the login name assigned by your ISP for this remote node.
Select this check box if your ISP assigned you a fixed IP address, then enter the IP
address in the following field.
Leave the field set to 0.0.0.0 (default) to have the ISP or other remote router
dynamically (automatically) assign your WAN IP address if you do not know it. Type
your WAN IP address here if you know it (static). This is the address assigned to
your local ZyWALL, not the remote router.
Leave this field set to 0.0.0.0 (default) to have the ISP or other remote router
dynamically send its subnet mask if you do not know it. Type the remote gateway's
subnet mask here if you know it (static).
Leave this field set to 0.0.0.0 (default) to have the ISP or other remote router
dynamically (automatically) send its IP address if you do not know it. Type the
remote gateway's IP address here if you know it (static).
