Modem > Advanced
The Modem > Advanced page is used to configure the Remotely Triggered Dial-Out feature, which enables network administrators to remotely initiate a WAN modem connection from a SonicWALL UTM appliance.
Remotely Triggered Dial-Out
The following process describes how a Remotely Triggered Dial-Out call functions:
Note: After three incorrect password attempts, the SonicWALL terminates a Remotely Triggered Dial-out authentication session. Each password attempt is allowed a maximum of 60 seconds. If a dial-out session is terminated, the SonicWALL can be called again for another Remotely Triggered Dial-out authentication session.
Note: If LAN- to-WAN traffic on the SonicWALL generates a dial-out request at the same time as a Remotely Triggered Dial-out session is being authenticated, the Remotely Triggered Dial-out session is terminated and the SonicWALL initiates its own dial-out session.
Configuring Remotely Triggered Dial-Out
Before configuring the Remotely Triggered Dial-Out feature, ensure that your configuration meets the following prerequisites:
To configure Remotely Triggered Dial-Out, go the Modem > Advanced screen.
Bandwidth Management
The Bandwidth Management section allows the administrator to enable egress (outbound) or ingress (inbound) bandwidth management services on the modem interface.
Note: Bandwidth management is a service and must be registered. To configure the service, navigate to the Application Firewall section of the user interface.
Connection Limit
The Connection Limit section allows the administrator to set a host/node limit on the modem connection. This feature is especially useful for deployments where the modem connection is used as an overflow or in load-balanced situations to avoid over-taxing the connection.
In the Max Hosts field, enter the maximum number of hosts to allow when this interface is connected. The default value is “0”, which allows an unlimited number of nodes.
