72 CHAPTER 6: ADVANCED CONFIGURATION simultaneously with the minimum call duration. For example, if the minimum call duration is set to two minutes, and the inactivity timer is set to 30 seconds, the call will be connected for at least two minutes even if there has been no activity for 30 seconds or more. To prevent a data call from being disconnected due to inactivity, enter 0 (note that you must then manually disconnect the call via the Manual Calling screen). The default is seven minutes. Disconnecting a Manual Data Call A manual call is established using the Manual Calling option from the LAN Modem's main page. You can define the amount of time the LAN Modem should wait before disconnecting this type of data call due to inactivity. This inactivity timer is activated once the minimum call duration is satisfied and no further activity is detected. For example, if the minimum call duration is set to two minutes and the inactivity timer is set to 15 minutes, the call will be connected for at least 15 minutes. To prevent a manual call from being disconnected due to inactivity, enter 0. The default is 15 minutes. Number of Times to Redial for a Manual Call This field designates the number of times the LAN Modem will redial a call that is placed using the Manual Call Control screen. Acceptable values are between 0 and 255 times. Delay Between Redial Attempts When Placing a Manual Call This field designates the length of time in seconds to wait before redialing a manual call. Acceptable values are between 4 and 240 seconds. Configuring the Data To configure data call parameters, do the following. Call Parameters 1 From the 56K LAN Modem main page, click the Clock image. 2 Specify the minimum call duration. 3 Specify the inactivity period for an automatic data call. 4 Specify the inactivity period for a manual data call. 5 Specify the number of times to redial when placing a manual call. 6 Specify the delay between redial attempts when placing a manual call. 7 Click Submit. If you wish to password protect the configuration profile of the 56K LAN Modem, refer to "Locking and Unlocking the Configuration." Selective Password Protection You can set up partial password protection so that workstations may access only the manual calling page allowing them to place and receive calls. All other WebWizard pages remain inaccessible. Note that enabling selective password protection also allows all users access to the LAN Modem main page so that they can navigate to the Manual Calling page. If users attempt to access any other page except Manual Calling or online help, the LAN Modem prompts the user to enter a password.
