PPP > Wakeup-on-Call

The Wakeup-on-Call feature allows the modem to wake up and initiate a connection when there is an incoming call. If you desired some security with this feature, you can set up the modem to wake up based on Caller ID or SMS instead of allowing all incoming calls to wakeup the modem. The Wakeup-on-Call feature will reduce the cost incurred when a modem is online and available 24 / 7.

Wakeup-on-Call Configuration

Wakeup on Call: Enable/disable the Wakeup-on-Call feature. The default is Disable.

Time Delay: Enter the amount of time that you want to pass between the reception of a call and the initiation of the Wakeup-on-Call connection. A time delay is needed to make sure that the incoming call has ended before the connection is initiated. The default is 10 seconds.

Dial-on-Demand from LAN: The default is Enable. If this feature is disabled, Dial-on-Demand initiates PPP only from the WAN, not from the LAN.

Init Strings: Configure the modem initialization strings. Init-num can range from 1-5. The default is NULL.
