As an added security feature, if this function is enabled, the switch disconnects
the calls that dial in to it, and dials back to one of the entries specified in the
table below:
Enable Dial Out
For the dial out function, you must establish an account with an Internet
Service Provider, and use a modem to dial up to your ISP account. An
explanation of the Enable Dial Out items is given in the table below:
Item
Action

Number Dial
Back
If
Fixed Number Dial Back
is enabled, when there is an incoming call,
the KVM over IP switch hangs up the modem and dials back to the
modem whose phone number is specified in the Phone Number field.
Key the phone number of the modem that you want the KVM over IP
switch to dial back to in the
Phone Number
field.
Enable
Flexible Dial
Back
If
Flexible Dial Back
is enabled, the modem that the KVM over IP
switch dials back to doesn’t have to be fixed. It can dial back to any
modem that is convenient for the user, as follows:
1. Key the password that the users must specify in the
Password
field.
2. When connecting to the KVM over IP switch’s modem, users spec-
ify the phone number of the modem that they want the KVM over IP
switch to dial back to as their Username, and specify the password
set in the
Password
field for their password.
Item

out over the ISP connection.
Every

four hours.
If you select

(for example), the KVM over IP
switch will start dialing out every two hours beginning at
00:00.
If you don't want the KVM over IP switch to dial out on a fixed
schedule, select

from the list.
Daily at
will dial out once a day at a specified time. Use the hh:mm
format to specify the time.
PPP online time
specifies how long you want the ISP connection
to last before terminating the session and hanging up the modem.
A setting of zero means it is always on line.
