Kerio Tech Firewall6 manual Connection, Dial-up demand dial

Chapter 5 Settings for Interfaces and Network Services

Connection

Connection type that can be used for dialing:

•Manual — the line can only be dialed manually, either from the Administration Console or from WinRoute’s Web interface (see chapter 9).

•On Demand — the line will be dialed whenever a host on the LAN tries to access the Internet (incoming packet). To see details about the WinRoute and system on-demand dial configuration refer to chapter 16.2.

•Persistent — the line will be dialed immediately after the WinRoute Firewall En- gine service is started and it will be kept active (and will be reconnected if the line is dropped for some reason).

•Custom — here you can set with great detail and complexity when the line should be dialed persistently or on demand or not dialed at all.

Figure 5.5 Dial-up — demand dial

In sections of the dialog window you can select time ranges for each dialing type. Click on the Edit button to open a dialog where time ranges can be created or edited. For more information about time ranges refer to chapter 12.2.

This is how the user defined dialing works:

•The Keep the line disconnected option is processed prior to all other options. The line is kept disconnected during this period (or it is hung-up automati- cally).

•The time range for the Persistent connection option is processed as seconds. During this period the line will be kept connected.
