Configuring a connection to the outside network 39 Configuring connectivity ■ In the right pane, on the PPTP tab, under WAN Port, in the WAN Port drop-down list, select the WAN port to connect. ■ Under Manual Control, click Disconnect. Dial-up accounts There are two basic types of dial-up accounts: analog and ISDN. Analog uses a modem that connects to a regular telephone line (RJ-11 connector). ISDN is a digital dial-up account type that uses a special telephone line. On the appliance, you can use a dial-up account as your primary connection to the Internet, or as a backup to your dedicated account. In backup mode, the appliance automatically dials the ISP if the dedicated connection fails. The appliance re-engages the dedicated account when it is stable; failover from the primary connection to modem or from the modem to the primary connection can take 30 to 60 seconds. You can configure a primary dial-up account and a backup dial-up account. You may configure a backup dial-up account if your primary dedicated account fails. First, you must connect the modem to the appliance. Then, you use the SGMI to configure the dial-up account. You can also connect or disconnect your account manually at any time. You must use an external modem for dial-up accounts. You connect the modem, including ISDN modems, to the appliance through the serial port on the back of the appliance. Figure 3-3 shows the serial port on the rear panel of the model 320 appliance.
