3G/Modem

SonicWALL UTM appliances with a USB extension port can support either an external 3G interface or analog modem interface. When the appliance does not detect an external interface, a 3G/Modem tab is displayed in the left-side navigation bar.

Selecting the 3G/Modem Status

By default, the SonicWALL UTM appliance will attempt to auto-detect whether a connected external device is a 3G interface or an analog modem interface. You can manually specify which type of interface you want to configure on the 3G/Modem > Settings page.

The 3G/Modem Device Type pulldown menu provides the following options:

Auto-detect - The appliance attempts to determine if the device is a 3G or analog modem.
3G/Mobile - Manually configures a 3G interface. See “3G” for information on configuring a 3G interface.
Analog Modem - Manually configures an analog modem interface. See “Modem” for information on configuring an analog modem.
