Configuring Dial-up Setting by Using the CLI
To configure the dial-up by using the command line interface, log in through the console port.
Dial-up mode can be enabled by using the following options available in the CLI:
±
Disable
—WAN connection is established regardless of any interesting traffic.
±
Immediate
—WAN connection is established only when no other higher priority connection
(primary) exists, regardless of any interesting traffic. This connection becomes inactive
when primary becomes active.
Note
Any traffic that goes to the Internet through LAN is called interesting traffic.
±
Activity
—WAN connection is established only when interesting traffic is initiated from
internal network to WAN and when no other higher priority connection (primary) exists. The
dialup connection terminates if another higher priority connection becomes active or if there
is no traffic for 1 minute.
Note
Dial-up connection option (always on, demand dialing) and other parameters (number,
username, password, and so on) can be configured by using CLI.
Use the following commands to configure the dialup profile:
set interface wan mode dialup connectondemand <disable
|immediate |
activity>
set interface wan2 mode dialup connectondemand <disable
|immediate |
activity>
For more information about dial-up commands, see the
Nokia IP45 Security Platform CLI
Reference Guide Version 4.0.

Multiple Dial-up Profiles
The Nokia IP45 security platform supports 10 dial-up profiles. A round-robin mechanism is
used to choose the profiles for connecting to the Internet. By default, the first dial-up profile is
used. On failure of the first dial-up, the device attempts to use the successive profiles for
successful Internet connection.

same manner, you can terminate the active connection.
The Internet connection retains its connected or not connected status until the Nokia IP45 is
rebooted. The IP45 then connects to the Internet if the connection is enabled. For information on
how to enable the Internet connection, see
“Enabling or Disabling the Internet Connection”
on
page 93.
Configuring a Backup Internet Connection
You can configure both a primary and a secondary Internet connection for the Nokia IP45
security platform. The secondary connection acts as a backup, so that even if the primary
connection fails, the IP45 remains connected to the Internet.
You can configure different DNS servers for the two connections. The IP45 device acts as a DNS
relay and routes requests from computers within the network to the appropriate DNS server for
the active Internet connection.
