Modem Initialization - Select Initialize Modem For Use In and select the country from the drop-down menu. United States is selected by default. If the modem uses AT commands to initialize, select Initialize Modem Using AT Commands. Enter any AT commands used for the modem in the AT Commands (for modem initialization) field. AT commands are instructions used to control a modem such as ATS7=30 (allows up to 30 seconds to wait for a dial tone), ATS8=2 (sets the amount of time the modem pauses when it encounters a comma (“,”) in the string).

The Connect on Data Categories settings allow you to specify the outbound data that is detected before the modem dials the ISP. Outbound data does not need to originate from computers on the LAN, but can also be packets generated by the Dell SonicWALL security appliance security applications.
The Connect on Data Categories include:
The Management/User Login section allows you to enable remote management of the Dell SonicWALL security appliance or user login from the Modem interface.
You can select any of the supported management protocol(s): HTTPS, Ping, SNMP and/or SSH. You can also select HTTP for management traffic. However, bear in mind that HTTP traffic is less secure than HTTPS.
Select Add rule to enable redirect from HTTP to HTTPS to allow the Dell SonicWALL to automatically convert HTTP requests to HTTPS requests for added security.
