Configuring modem settings

Configure modem settings so that the FortiWiFi unit uses the modem to connect to your ISP dial-up accounts. You can configure the modem to connect up to three dial-up accounts. You can also enable and disable FortiWiFi modem support, configure what the modem dials, and select the FortiWiFi interface that the modem is redundant for.

Figure 9: Modem settings (Stand alone and Redundant)

Enable Modem Select to enable the modem.

Modem status The modem status shows one of the following: “not active”, “connecting”, “connected”, “disconnecting” or “hung up” (Stand alone mode only).

Dial Now/Hang Up (Stand alone mode only) Select Dial Now to manually connect to a

 

dial-up account. If the modem is connected, you can select Hang

 

Up to manually disconnect the modem.

Mode

Select Stand alone or Redundant mode. In Stand alone mode, the

 

modem is an independent interface. In Redundant mode, the

 

modem is a backup facility for a selected Ethernet interface.

Auto-dial

(Stand alone mode only) Select to dial the modem automatically if

 

the connection is lost or the FortiWiFi unit is restarted. You cannot

 

select Auto-dial if Dial on demand is selected.

Redundant for

(Redundant mode only) Select the Ethernet interface the modem

 

provides backup service.

Dial on demand

Select to dial the modem when packets are routed to the modem

 

interface. The modem disconnects after the idle timeout period if

 

there is no network activity. When traffic occurs on the interface, the

 

FortiGate unit dials the modem again.

 

In Standalone mode, you cannot select Dial on demand if Auto-dial

 

is selected.

Idle timeout

(Stand alone mode only) Enter the timeout duration in minutes.

 

After this period of inactivity, the modem disconnects.

Holddown Timer

(Redundant mode only) Enter the time (1-60 seconds) the FortiWiFi unit waits before switching from the modem interface to the primary interface, after the primary interface has been restored. Configure a higher value if you find the FortiWiFi unit switching repeatedly between the primary interface and the modem interface.

Redial Limit

The maximum number of times (1-10) the FortiWiFi unit modem

 

attempts to reconnect to the ISP if the connection fails. Select None

 

to have no limit on redial attempts.
