If the connection to the dial-up account fails, the FortiWiFi unit modem
automatically redials the number. The modem redials the ISP number based on
the amount of times specified by the redial limit, or until it connects to a dial-up
account.
In stand alone mode the modem interface replaces the external Ethernet
interface. You must also configure firewall policies for connections between the
modem interface and other FortiWiFi interfaces.
To operate in stand alone mode for the FortiWiFi-60AM
1Go to System > Network > Modem.
2Configure other modem settings as required.
See “Configuring modem settings” on page 52.
Make sure there is correct information in one or more Dial-up Accounts.
3Configure firewall policies for connections to the modem interface.
See “Adding firewall policies for modem connections” on page 56.
4Select Dial Up.
The FortiWiFi unit initiates dialing into each dial-up account in turn until the
modem connects to an ISP.
