Operation without an Ethernet Connection

The IN-tact1101 can be configured to use only the modem with a PPP connection instead of using Ethernet, but an Ethernet connection must initially be available in order to configure the device for this type of operation.

To set up for this type of configuration:

1.Attach the Ethernet cable and log in using the IN-tact1101 IP address.

2.Configure the IN-tact1101, including:

•Enable Dial Backup

•Disable DHCP

•Be sure you have the proper initialization string for your modem type

•Set to Immediate Mode (if you want the connection to dial without waiting for a transaction)

•Set to Inactivity Disconnect Timer to zero (if you want the connection to stay up indefinitely) The recovery timer becomes meaningless when no Ethernet cable is attached.

3.If set to Immediate Mode, when the idle timer expires, the IN-tactwill immediately dial.

4.Click the Apply and Restart button. The device will restart and dial mode will be initiated (when set to Immediate Mode).
