Management/User Login
The Management/User Login section allows you to enable remote management of the
SonicWALL security appliance or user login from the Modem interface.
You can select any of the supported management protocol(s): HTTPS, Ping, SNMP and/or
SSH. You can also select HTTP for management traffic. However, bear in mind that HTTP
traffic is less secure than HTTPS.
Select Add rule to enable redirect from HTTP to HTTPS to allow the SonicWALL to
automatically convert HTTP requests to HTTPS requests for added security.
Modem > Advanced
The Modem > Advanced page is used to configure the Remotely Triggered Dial-Out feature,
which enables network administrators to remotely initiate a WAN modem connection from a
SonicWALL UTM appliance.
Remotely Triggered Dial-Out
The following process describes how a Remotely Triggered Dial-Out call functions:
1. The network administrator initiates a modem connection to the SonicWALL located at the
remote office.
2. If the SonicWALL is configured to authenticate the incoming call, it prompts the network
administrator to enter a password. Once the call is authenticated, the SonicWALL
terminates the call.
Note After three incorrect password attempts, the SonicWALL terminates a Remotely Triggered
Dial-out authentication session. Each password attempt is allowed a maximum of 60
seconds. If a dial-out session is terminated, the SonicWALL can be called again for another
Remotely Triggered Dial-out authentication session.
