SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
If the modem is inactive, the Status page displays a list of possible reasons that your modem
is inactive. When the modem is active, the network settings from the ISP are used for WAN
access.
Modem > Settings
The Modem > Settings page allows you to configure modem settings, specify Connect on Data
categories, select management and user login options, and select the primary and alternate
modem profiles.
Modem Device Type - Select whether you are using an Analog Modem, a 3G/Mobile
connection, or Auto-detect.
Speaker Volume - Select whether you want the modem’s speaker turned on or off. The default
value is On.
Modem Initialization - Select Initialize Modem For Use In and select the country from the
drop-down menu. United States is selected by default. If the modem uses AT commands to
initialize, select Initialize Modem Using AT Commands. Enter any AT commands used for the
modem in the AT Commands (for modem initialization) field. AT commands are instructions
used to control a modem such as ATS7=30 (allows up to 30 seconds to wait for a dial tone),
ATS8=2 (sets the amount of time the modem pauses when it encounters a comma (“,”) in the
string).
Connect on Data Categories
The Connect on Data Categories settings allow you to specify the outbound data that is
detected before the modem dials the ISP. Outbound data does not need to originate from
computers on the LAN, but can also be packets generated by the SonicWALL security
appliance security applications.
