needed or can be configured to wait for manual intervention. Configure one of the following
options:
• Check the Connect automatically disconnect after idle for ___ min. radios box for the
modem to connect automatically. Specify the idle minute time. The VPN firewall will
connect whenever an outbound connection request is made from a computer on the LAN.
The connection will be terminated if there is no data transfer during the specified time
interval in the Dialup Timeout Value field (the default is 60 seconds).
• Check the Connect and disconnect manually radio box to disable auto dialing and allow
manual control over connecting via dial-up. To connect manually, click the Dial-Up
Status link at the top and then click Connect. The connection will be terminated if there is
no data transfer during the specified time interval in the Dialup Timeout Value field (the
default is 60 seconds).

dynamically assigned by the ISP. This is the default setting.
– Use Static IP Address. Requires the VPN firewall to function with the static IP
address that was assigned by the ISP. Enter the IP address in the IP Address field.
Note: Dial-up ISPs usually assign the IP address automatically when connecting.
