The following table describes the fields and explains how to configure the dial up
connection to your ISP.
Field Description
Name of Internet provider Enter the name of your ISP.
Phone number(s) to dial Enter the number to dial to reach your ISP. If you are
behind a PABX that requires you to dial a prefix for an
outside line (e.g. 0 or 9) ensure you enter the appropriate
prefix. If your ISP has provided you with multiple phone
numbers, you may enter them separated with commas.
(optional)
Enter the DNS server address supplied by your ISP.
Multiple DNS addresses may be entered separated by
commas. Note that any DNS addresses automatically
handed out by your ISP will take precedence over the
addresses specified here.
Username and password Enter the unique username and password allocated by your
ISP. The Password and Confirm Password fields must
match.
Click Advanced to configure the following options.
Field Description
Idle timeout By default, the CyberGuard SG appliance dials-on-demand
(i.e. when there is traffic trying to reach the Internet) and
disconnects if the connection is inactive (i.e. when there is
no traffic to/from the Internet) for 15 minutes. If using dial-
on-demand, this value can be set from 0 to 99 minutes.
Selecting Stay Connected will disable the idle timeout.
Redial setup If the dial up connection to the Internet fails, Max
Connection Attempts specifies the number of redial
attempts to make before discontinuing . Time Between
Redials specifies the number of seconds to wait between
redial attempts.
