User Name

This field displays when you select an authentication type other than None. This field

 

 

 

is read-only if you selected Device in the profile selection. If this field is configurable,

 

 

 

enter the user name for this 3G card exactly as the service provider gave it to you.

 

 

 

You can use 1 ~ 64 alphanumeric and #:%-_@$./characters. The first character must

 

 

 

be alphanumeric or -_@$./. Spaces are not allowed.

 

 

Password

This field displays when you select an authentication type other than None. This field

 

 

 

is read-only if you selected Device in the profile selection and the password is included

 

 

 

in the 3G card’s profile. If this field is configurable, enter the password for this SIM

 

 

 

card exactly as the service provider gave it to you.

 

 

 

You can use 0 ~ 63 alphanumeric and `~!@#$%^&*()_-+={};:'<,>./characters.

PIN Code

This field displays with a GSM or HSDPA 3G card. A PIN (Personal Identification

 

 

 

Number) code is a key to a 3G card. Without the PIN code, you cannot use the 3G

 

 

 

card.

 

 

 

Enter the 4-digit PIN code (0000 for example) provided by your ISP. If you enter the

 

 

 

PIN code incorrectly, the 3G card may be blocked by your ISP and you cannot use the

 

 

 

account to access the Internet.

 

 

 

If your ISP disabled PIN code authentication, enter an arbitrary number.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Retype to

Type the PIN code again to confirm it.

Parameters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Egress

Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can send

 

 

Bandwidth

through the interface to the network. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576. This setting is

 

 

 

used in WAN load balancing and bandwidth management.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingress

This is reserved for future use.

 

 

Bandwidth

Enter the maximum amount of traffic, in kilobits per second, the ZyWALL can receive

 

 

 

 

 

 

from the network through the interface. Allowed values are 0 - 1048576.

 

 

 

 

 

 

MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit. Type the maximum size of each data packet, in bytes,

 

 

 

that can move through this interface. If a larger packet arrives, the ZyWALL divides it

 

 

 

into smaller fragments. Allowed values are 576 - 1492. Usually, this value is 1492.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Connectivity Check

The interface can regularly check the connection to the gateway you specified to make

 

 

 

sure it is still available. You specify how often the interface checks the connection, how

 

 

 

long to wait for a response before the attempt is a failure, and how many consecutive

 

 

 

failures are required before the ZyWALL stops routing to the gateway. The ZyWALL

 

 

 

resumes routing to the gateway the first time the gateway passes the connectivity

 

 

 

check.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable

Select this to turn on the connection check.

Check Method

Select the method that the gateway allows.

 

 

 

Select icmp to have the ZyWALL regularly ping the gateway you specify to make sure

 

 

 

it is still available.

 

 

 

Select tcp to have the ZyWALL regularly perform a TCP handshake with the gateway

 

 

 

you specify to make sure it is still available.
