In normal operation (when scheduling is disabled) the
internet server will always dial out when it receives a data
packet destined for the internet, and will hang up when the
idle time condition in the System Configuration menu is
met. However, when scheduling is enabled, the internet
server will maintain the WAN connection according to
these parameters:
•
Auto Dial
– Causes the internet server to
automatically dial out when a scheduled time
occurs. If the internet server is scheduled to op-
erate between 9:00 am and 17:00 pm on
Mondays, then at 9:00 am Monday morning the
internet server will dial out regardless of
whether it receives a packet destined for the
internet. The connection to the internet will be
maintained until the scheduled period elapses.
•
Dial on Demand
– Causes the internet server
to dial out when it receives a packet for the
internet, if the packet is received within the
time allowed for dialing up in the schedule ta-
ble. If a request is received to access the
internet outside of the time limits defined in the
schedule table, the internet server will not dial
out.
Routing Table
The static routing table allows the internet server to co-
exist on the same network with a router. This
implementation depends on whether the router has its own
WAN access to the internet.
If the router does not have a connection to the internet,
then you do not need to create a new IP network or IP sub-
net. You simply need to add the internet server to the
existing LAN and configure the router to use the Local
