FP Web-Server V2.11

10.1 The Internet Dial-Out Function

 

 

6.Enter the telephone number for modem dial-up

If you use a PBX, set the string "0" or "0w" (with delay after first zero) in front of the number.

7.Enter the login name and password for the dial-up account The authentication method is normally set to "PAP".

8.Set a baud rate that complies with the modem used

The FP Web-Server always connects with the internal settings of 8 bits, none parity and 1 stop bit.

9.Set the idle timeout

The idle timeout can be lowered to approx. 2 minutes (120s). After this interval, if no data communication has occurred, the FP Web-Server disconnects from the dial-up ISP and hangs up the modem connection.

•For the settings on "Modem" or "Null modem cable", refer to the online help under modem or null modem cable selection

•For further settings, refer to the online help under the keywords "User modem init command" and "Delay after init command".

•For a "dial-out" connection, enable the PPP-Server function in the "Dial-In" section. This ensures that upon restart of the FP Web-Server, the modem is switched to offline (hang-up with +++ ATH). Moreover, the ‘User modem init command’ in the “Dial-In” section can be used for additional modem setup commands.

•For the FP Modem-EU Version 1.16, 19200bps are recommended (check the version with the command ATi3). In certain cases the function "automatic baud rate detection" does not work for all possible baud rates.

Tip: Use a terminal and set the baud rate with the command AT*W=xxxx to a fixed value, e.g. 19200. This disables automatic baud rate detection.

•If the modem connection from a remote client to the PPP server is established and an email is to be sent via Internet dialup by the FP Web-Server, the PPP server connection will be cancelled automatically so that it can call the ISP via modem. After the email is sent to the ISP, the PPP server is enabled again.

•For the user name and password, only ASCII characters are allowed. Do not use umlauts or Japanese characters.

•You can use either the Internet email server (check box is activated) or the transparent TCP/IP port because both need the RS232C port for data exchange.
