SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
• The SonicWALL Security Appliance is configured to be managed using HTTPS, so that the
device can be accessed remotely.
• It is recommended that you enter a value in the Enable Max Connection Time (minutes)
field. This field is located in the 3G Profile Configuration window on the Parameters tab.
See “3G > Connection Profiles” on page 444 for more information. If you do not enter a
value in this field, dial-out
calls will remain connected indefinitely, and you will have to
manually terminate sessions by clicking the Disconnect button.
To configure Remotely Triggered Dial-Out, go the 3G >
Advanced screen.
1. Check the Enable Remotely Triggered Dial-Out checkbox.
2. (Optional) To authenticate the remote call, check the Requires authentication checkbox
and enter the password in the Password: and Confirm Password: fields.
Bandwidth Management
The Bandwidth Management section allows the administrator to enable egress (outbound) or
ingress (inbound) bandwidth management services on the 3G interface.
Note Bandwidth management is a service and must be registered. To configure the service,
navigate to the Application Firewall section of the user interface.
1. Click the Enable Egress Bandwidth Management checkbox to enable bandwidth
management policy enforcement on outbound traffic.
2. Click the Enable Ingress Bandwidth Management checkbox to enable bandwidth
management policy enforcement on inbound traffic.
3. Select a Compression Multiplier from the drop-down list.
Connection Limit
The Connection Limit section allows the administrator to set a host/node limit on the 3G
connection. This feature is especially useful for deployments where the 3G connection is used
as an overflow or in load-balanced situations to avoid over-taxing the connection.
In the Max Hosts field, enter the maximum number of hosts to allow when this interface is
connected. The default value is “0”, which allows an unlimited number of nodes.
