6.Enter a value for the number of successful probes required to reactivate the primary connection in the Successful Probes to Reactivate Primary field. The default value is five (5). By requiring a number of successful probes before the SonicWALL returns to its primary connection, you can prevent the SonicWALL from returning to the primary connection before the primary connection becomes stable.

7.Enter the number of missed probes required for the WAN failover to occur in the Failover Trigger Level (missed probes) field.

8.Enable Preempt Mode if you want the primary WAN Ethernet interface to take over from the secondary modem WAN interface when it becomes active after a failure. If you do not enable Preempt Mode, the secondary WAN modem interface remains active as the WAN interface until you click Disconnect.

9.Click Update for the settings to take effect on the SonicWALL.

Configuring a Modem Profile for Manual Dial-Up

You can also use the modem to dial your ISP for Internet access without a broadband connection. If you’re traveling with your TELE3 SP, you can create profiles for each ISP configuration necessary for dial-up Internet access. To configure your modem for manual dial-up access, follow these steps:

1.Log onto your Management station, and click Modem, then Profiles.

2.Create a name for your profile and enter it in the Name field.

ISP Settings

1. Enter the primary number used to dial up the ISP in the Primary Phone Number field.

Tip If a specific prefix is used to access an outside line, such as 9, enter the number as part of the phone number.

2.Enter the secondary number used to dial your ISP in the Secondary Phone Number field (optional).

3.Enter your ISP user name in the User field.

4.Enter your ISP password in the Password field.

5.Confirm your ISP password in the Confirm field.

6.Select Obtain Automatically if you do not have a permanent IP address from your ISP. If you have a permanent IP address from your ISP, select Specify and enter the IP address in the IP Address field.

7.If you obtain an IP address automatically for your DNS Server(s), select Obtain Automatically. If your dial-up ISP has a specific IP address for the DNS Server(s), select Specify and enter the IP address in the field.

8.If your dial-up ISP has given you a script that runs when you access your dial-up ISP connection, cut and paste the script text in the Chat Script field. See the Information on Chat Scripts section at the end of this chapter for more information on using chat scripts.

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.
