The Configure tab allows you to enable the modem to provide secondary dial-up ISP connection support and configure the modem settings. There are two sections available: Modem Settings and Failover Settings.

Modem Settings

The Modem Settings section lets you select from a list of modem profiles, select the volume of the modem, and also configure AT commands for modem initialization. To configure the SonicWALL modem settings, follow these steps:

1.Select the Primary Profile from the list of profiles that the SonicWALL uses to access the modem and dial the secondary connection. If you have enabled Manual Dial for the Primary Profile, the Secondary Profile is not used.

2.Select the Secondary Profile from the list of profiles. If the Primary Profile cannot establish a connection, the SonicWALL uses the Secondary Profile to access the modem and establish a connection.

3.Select the volume of the modem from the Speaker Volume menu. The default value is Medium.

4.Select Initialize Modem For Use In and select the country from the drop down menu. United States is selected by default.

5.If the modem uses AT commands to initialize, select Initialize Modem Using AT Commands. Enter any AT commands used for the modem in the AT Commands (for modem initialization) field. AT commands are instructions used to control a modem such as ATS7=30 (allow up to 30 seconds to wait for dialtone), ATS8=2 (set the amount of time the modem pauses when it encounters a “,” in the string).

Tip The default settings for the modem are generally sufficient for normal operation. The AT Commands (for modem initialization) box is provided for nonstandard situations.

Internet Security Appliances specifications

SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances are pivotal solutions aimed at safeguarding networks from an ever-evolving array of cyber threats. Designed for small to medium-sized businesses, as well as enterprises, these appliances deliver robust security and high-performance capabilities.

One of the main features of SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances is their Unified Threat Management (UTM) functionality. This integrated approach allows organizations to manage multiple security measures, including firewall protection, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), and antivirus capabilities, within a single device. This consolidation simplifies security management and reduces the risk of vulnerabilities from disparate systems.

Another significant technology found in these appliances is Application Control. This feature enables administrators to monitor and regulate the applications and services used within their networks, ensuring that bandwidth is allocated efficiently, and potentially harmful applications are blocked. Coupled with Content Filtering, SonicWALL offers granular policies to restrict access to inappropriate or non-work-related content, enhancing overall productivity while maintaining security.

SonicWALL appliances also utilize advanced cybersecurity technologies like SonicWall Capture Threat Assessment and Capture Advanced Threat Protection. These solutions leverage artificial intelligence to identify and remove sophisticated malware and ransomware threats before they infiltrate the network. This proactive approach ensures that only safe email and web traffic is allowed through, providing comprehensive protection against advanced persistent threats.

Moreover, SonicWALL’s Global Management System (GMS) enables centralized control over multiple security devices, making it easy for IT teams to maintain a consistent security posture across various locations. This capability is especially beneficial for organizations with distributed networks, as it provides real-time visibility into network activity and security incidents.

The appliances are also designed with scalability in mind. Whether an organization grows or needs to adjust its security policies, SonicWALL appliances can be updated, expanded, or modified without significant disruptions. This flexibility makes them a long-term investment for any business focused on network security.

In addition, SonicWALL's user-friendly interface simplifies the deployment and management processes. With intuitive dashboards and reporting tools, administrators can easily track security events, analyze network traffic patterns, and respond swiftly to potential threats.

In summary, SonicWALL Internet Security Appliances combine essential features like Unified Threat Management, Application Control, and advanced threat protection technologies into a cohesive security solution. Their scalability, centralized management capabilities, and user-friendly interfaces make them an excellent choice for businesses aiming to strengthen their cyber defenses in a complex digital landscape.
