Control Description
Global Dialup Config
Call direction allowed
This list box lists all modes of allowed connections types.
This means: disabled, incoming, outgoing and both incoming and outgoing.
Disabled means that no call will be answered and that no outgoing call will be initiated,
under any circumstance (this does not concern the SMS actions, that means you are able to send a
SMS from eWON, even if "Disabled" is selected.
Incoming means that incoming calls will be answered, but that no outgoing call will ever be initiated
(except for SMS).
Outgoing means that outgoing calls will be initiated, but that no incoming call will ever be answered.
Incoming & Outgoing means that incoming calls will be answered, and that outgoing calls will be
initiated on request by the system.
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. Also remember that if this box is unchecked
and that an Email for example has to be sent while connection has been established by a user in
order to browse the eWON, if the Email can be sent through the Ethernet link, the PPP link will NOT
be dropped.
