PPP/Modem

Note: The PPP/Modem icon appears only when a supported modem has been connected to the appliance and configured using the Serial Devices icon.

For more information on configuring serial devices, see “Serial Devices” on page 99. For more information about supported modems and how they connect to the appliance, see the installation and quick configuration manual included with your appliance.

Use the PPP/Modem icon to configure your appliance to establish a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection with your TCP/IP network using a supported USB modem and a standard analog telephone connection.

Note: Advanced View performance with PPP/Modem-connected appliances is slower than Advanced View performance with appliances connected directly to your LAN, due in part to image collection and display and alert notifications that include picture data.

When configuring appliances that use PPP/Modem connections, configure the camera pod camera settings with the lowest Picture Count setting that is acceptable.

The PPP/Modem Configuration window consists of three tabs: Basic, Advanced, and Status. The following controls appear in the Basic tab:

Field

Description

 

 

Hostname

The hostname associated with the PPP interface.

Phone number

The telephone number that the modem dials to establish a PPP

 

connection.

User name

The user name to access the PPP connection.

Password / Verify password

The password to access the PPP connection.

Dial-Out Enable

Select Enable and click Schedule to schedule times at which your

 

appliance establishes a PPP connection, regardless of whether alerts

 

have been generated.

 

NOTE: By default, no scheduled dial-out events are configured.

Dial-In Enable

Select Enable and click Schedule to enable PPP dial-in support on

 

your appliance. If enabled, you can use a system and modem to dial in

 

to the appliance and establish a PPP connection. The remote system

 

must provide a Supervisor User name and Password to establish the

 

PPP connection.

 

For information on managing an appliance that you have accessed with

 

a modem, see “Managing your appliance using a dial-In PPP

 

connection” on page 91.

 

NOTE: By default, dial-in access is enabled 24 hours a day, 7 days a

 

week.

 

NOTE: If the appliance must dial-out due to schedule, alert, or an

 

immediate dial-out request, it overrides any dial-in session without

 

warning.
