Configuring the modem interface
You can connect a modem to the FortiGate unit and use it as either a backup interface or standalone interface.
•In backup mode, the modem interface automatically takes over from a selected ethernet interface when that ethernet interface is unavailable.
•In standalone mode, the modem interface is the connection from the FortiGate unit to the Internet.
When connecting to the ISP, in either configuration, the FortiGate unit modem can automatically dial up to three dialup accounts until the modem connects to an ISP.
