Control Description
Outgoing Calls Config
Dial-out timeout
Time allowed for the whole establishment of the PPP link to be up. This means modem call, modem negotiation,
PPP negotiation and logon. This time includes all trials on each server. This is thus a global time.
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).
Delay between
dialout retry
In case of an unsuccessful attempt to establish the outgoing communication, then eWON will retry to establish it
again. This parameter will allow you to define the amount of time eWON will wait to try and establish again the
outgoing action.
Max outgoing call
duration
The maximum amount of time of the outgoing call. When this amount of time is reached, then eWON stops the PPP
communication.
Hang up if no
outgoing action after
When attempting to perform an outgoing call, an issue can prevent any action to occur. This allows you to define the
time after which eWON will give up the outgoing action in case of no activity on the line.
Enable compression
Enable the compression negotiation request when an incoming call occurs. This includes all compression modes
known by the eWON PPP engine (Van Jacobson, header compression,…).
Require secure
authentication
(CHAP)
If this box is checked, then the eWON explicitly requests CHAP authentication for the PPP link. If the other side
cannot do CHAP, no connection will be made. If this box is leaved unchecked, then PAP (clear text password) is
used.
Primary &
secondary servers
The following parameters are the same for both servers. Two different servers can be set up. This ensures that if a
server is down, the eWON can find a way out for PPP link. At the startup of the establishment of a connection, the
primary server is always dialed first. If the connection cannot be established, the eWON tries the second server. If it
fails, then it toggles back to the primary server. This is done until the dial-out timeout is reached.
Server phone
number
Complete phone number of the server. A coma (,) can be used to insert a pause
(can be useful i.e. if you have to go through a pabx).
User Name User name of your ISP login for PPP link establishment.
Password Password linked to the above login for PPP link establishment.

Control Description
Calls Budget management
Allocated Budget
This is the allocated time budget for outgoing calls. When a communication initiated by the eWON is undergoing, the
Current period budget (remaining time) is decremented. When the allocated budget period is elapsed (next field), a
new period is started, with this basic call timing package, which is therefore called Allocated budget.
Reset budget period
This is the time allowed in order to use the budget. After the call period is over, a new period is started and the new
period timer is reset to this value. In the above example, this means that the current budget period is reset to 24
hours each 168 hours. The reset period is restored to its value each time one of the three configuration fields is
modified.
Current period
budget
This is the remaining call budget for the current period, expressed in hours:min:sec. A new budget can be provided;
this restarts a new reset period. For example, in the above example 24 hours are remaining, if we force 100 hours as
call budget, the reset period is reset. This means that for the newly started period, 100 hours are allocated.
A new period will start again in a delay of 168 hours.
