Configure Dial-Out
You can use the MLR 3G 2.0 for dial-out. The MLR 3G 2.0 will automatically establish a
PPP connection to a remote terminal, when the network traffic occurs in the direction of
the network of the terminal. The network traffic which may trigger a connection setup
can be limited by rules. This optional "Dialing filter" will ensure that only packets from/to
certain IP addresses or from/to certain ports trigger the dial-out connection. This dial-out
connection can be compared with the dial-in of a PC into the Internet. Only after this
dial-in, it will be possible to transfer IP data (e.g. web contents) or to remotely access de-
vices in the local network of the MLR 3G 2.0, for example.
Configuration with the web interface
In order to
enable dial-out
, select in the menu "Dial-Out" on the page "Dial-
Out" the option "Yes" for "Activate Dial-Out".
For a
GSM-CSD connection, enter the phone number of the PPP terminal
(e.g.
the Internet provider) into the entry field "Phone number" for destination A.
You may enter a further phone number (or "*99***1#" for a packet-based con-
nection, see below) for destination B.
Enter for a
packet-based connection (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA)
"*99***1#"
into the entry field bei "Telephone number" for Target A. For destination A, en-
ter the APN of your mobile provider, which is used to establish a packet-based
connection, into the field "Access Point Name". You can enter another APN for
Target B. As an alternative, you may also define a GSM-CSD connection with a
usual phone number for Target B.
Enter a
User name and Password
for the PPP dial-up targets A and B. The
specification of Target B is optional. The user name must not be the same
than a user name of a dial-in user.
Select the
PPP authentication method (PAP, CHAP, and PAP or CHAP)
to be
used for Targets A and B in the selection "Authentication".
If you use a second SIM card, you may select the
SIM card to be used for Tar-
get B
under "SIM card for target B". SIM card 1 is always used for Target A.
Enter a value for "
Idle time
" to define how long the connection will remain es-
tablished, if no data transfer takes place. Enter the required time in seconds
into the field "Idle time".
To maintain the connection for an unlimited time, enter the value "0".
Enter the
Maximum connect time
to limit the duration of a connection. If you
enter a maximum connection time, the connection will be closed after this
time period has expired. To keep the connection open without any time re-
strictions (until the connection is terminated for other reasons), enter the
value "0" in the field "Maximum connect-time".
Configure the
priority of the targets
under "Priority". For this, the options "Try
the last successful target at first" and "Always try target A first" are available.
The MLR 3G 2.0 will try the respective target first. The MLR 3G 2.0 will always
try to reach the other target, if the connection to the configured target cannot
