Using Your Appliance 125
To change the PPP dial-out/dial-in settings, use the controls to specify the desired settings. When you are
finished, click OK and any changes you have made will be saved to the appliance. To end the task
without making any changes to your appliance click Cancel. Click Refresh to update the contents of the
task pane with the values that are currently stored on the appliance.
Managing your Appliance Using a Dial-In PPP Connection
When dial-in support is enabled, the appliance places the external modem in “auto-answer” mode. This
enables the user to initiate a dial-in connection to to the appliance through the external modem. When
dialing into the appliance, you must provide a user ID and password for a user account with
Administrator access to authenticate the PPP connection. Once the PPP connection has been established
you can access the appliance using IP address 192.168.254.1.
PPP Performance Considerations
PPP/Modem connections are substantially slower than Ethernet and wireless network connections. Using
SSL to communicate with an appliance over a PPP/Modem link will slow communications even further,
and if the appliance is attempting to send too much data over a PPP connection you can encounter a
bottleneck situation, where events never get delivered or get delivered long after they occur.
DHCP Shows whether DHCP is in use for this connection.
Connect Speed Shows the speed of the current PPP connection.
Dial-Out Due to Schedule (Yes or
No)
If Yes, indicates that the current PPP connection was
initiated as a result of a user-specified dial-out schedule.
Dial-Out Due To Alert/Report (Yes
or No)
If Yes, indicates that the current PPP connection was
initiates as a result of an alert or report being generated by
the appliance.
Dial-Out Due to Immediate
Request (Yes or No)
If Yes, indicates that the current P connection was initiated
as a result of a user-specified immediate dial-out request.
Dial-in Due to Schedule If Yes, indicates that the current PPP connection was
initiated as a result of a user-specified dial-in schedule.
Request Immediate Dial-Up/
Cancel Dial-Up Request
If the appliance does not currently have an active PPP
connection to a network, you can click Request Immediate
Dial-Out to establish a connection. The PPP connection,
once initiated, will stay active until you click Cancel Dial-
Up Request or the appliance reboots.
Field Description
Note
IP traffic is not routed through the appliance, so you will not be able to use the
appliance PPP connection to access other devices or systems that are on the same
Ethernet network as the appliance (assuming the appliance is connected to an
Ethernet network as well as a modem).
