Chapter 3 – Using the Web Management Software
PPP > Wakeup-on-Call
The Wakeup-on-Call feature allows the router to wake up and initiate a connection when there is an incoming call or LAN
activity. If you desired some security with this feature, you can set up the router to wake up based on Caller ID or SMS instead
of allowing all incoming calls to wakeup the router. Dial-on-Demand in the IP Setup menu must be enabled for these settings
to have any affect. The Wakeup-on-Call feature will reduce the cost incurred when a router is online and available 24 / 7.
Wakeup-on-Call Configuration
Wakeup on Call:
Enable/disable the Wakeup-on-Call feature. The default is
Disable
. Wakeup on Call occurs
when a ring or caller ID is detected. This will trigger the router to reconnect after the ‘Time
Delay’ expires.
Time Delay:
Enter the amount of time that you want to pass between the reception of a call and the
initiation of the Wakeup-on-Call connection. A time delay is needed to make sure that the
incoming call has ended before the connection is initiated. The default is 10 seconds.
Dial-on-Demand from LAN:
The default is
disable
. When enabled, the router will reconnect when it sees IP traffic
on the LAN is needed to route. If this feature is disabled, Dial-on-Demand initiates a PPP
connection to the internet only from the WAN, not from the LAN.
Init Strings:
Configure the router initialization strings. These init strings need to be specific to the
integrated cellular modem. Some initialization may be required for the integrated cellular
modem to accept SMS for ‘Wakeup on Call’. Init-num can range from 1-5. The default is NULL.
Refer to the following examples.
