3.3.4.2.2 Modem Incoming & Outgoing
Warning: Depending on the eWON's version (c.f. Table 187 on page 203)
This group contains the PPP(Point to Point) setup of the eWON that sets up the PPP settings for the server and client functions of the eWON
engine.
3.3.4.2.2.1 Incoming
Figure 30: Modem Incoming setup page
Control Description
eWON PPP server IP address
PPP server Internet protocol (IP) address of the eWON. Use this IP address to connect to the eWON
using a RAS connection. These are 4 numbers from 0 to 255 separated by a dot.
PPP client IP address Type the IP address that the eWON will allocate to the RAS client to establish the communication.
Enable protocol compression
Enables the compression negotiation request when an incoming call occurs. This includes all the
compression modes known by the eWON PPP engine (Van Jacobson, header compression,…).
Use incoming for outgoing
When checked, this ensures that when an incoming call is undergoing, no external event, such as
alarm Email, will drop the line in order to initiate a new connection. If an alarm has to be sent through
the PPP connection (FTP, Email, …), the current PPP link will be used. Be aware that SMS alarms will
always drop the line, whatever the value of this checkbox. On the other hand, if this box is unchecked
and an Email has to be sent while the connection has been established by a user to browse the
eWON, if the Email can be sent through the Ethernet link, the PPP link will NOT be dropped.
note: See also “Ethernet Gateway behavior” on page 49
Number of rings before modem
answers
You can fix the number of rings before the eWON answers. Default value is 0.
Idle time before hanging up
After this amount of time without data transfer on the PPP link between the eWON (any type of PPP
packet) and a remote host (Computer).
Reset eWON if no incoming
connection after ...
Consider this parameter like a Watchdog parameter. To avoid eWON to stay stucked due to any
modem reason or other, you can use this parameter to force an eWON to reboot if no incoming
connection was performed after xxx Hours since the last connection.
