Connecting and disconnecting the modem in Standalone mode		Configuring the modem interface

Dial on demand	(Standalone mode only) Select to dial the modem when packets are
	routed to the modem interface. The modem disconnects after the idle
	timeout period. You cannot select Dial on demand if Auto-dial is
	selected.
Idle timeout	(Standalone 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) that the FortiGate unit waits before switching from the modem interface to the primary interface, after the primary interface has been restored. The default is 1 second. Configure a higher value if you find the FortiGate unit switching repeatedly between the primary interface and the modem interface.

Redial Limit	The maximum number of times (1-10) that the FortiGate unit modem
	attempts to reconnect to the ISP if the connection fails. The default
	redial limit is 1. Select None to have no limit on redial attempts.
Dialup Account	Configure up to three dialup accounts. The FortiGate unit tries
	connecting to each account in order until a connection can be
	established.
Phone Number	The phone number required to connect to the dialup account. Do not
	add spaces to the phone number. Make sure to include standard special
	characters for pauses, country codes, and other functions as required
	by your modem to connect to your dialup account.
User Name	The user name (maximum 63 characters) sent to the ISP.
