SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
3. The SonicWALL then initiates a modem connection to its dial-up ISP, based on the
configured dial profile.
4. The network administrator accesses the SonicWALL web management interface to perform
the required tasks.
Note If LAN- to-WAN traffic on the SonicWALL generates a dial-out request at the same time as
a Remotely Triggered Dial-out session is being authenticated, the Remotely Triggered Dial-
out session is terminated and the SonicWALL initiates its own dial-out session.
Configuring Remotely Triggered Dial-Out
Before configuring the Remotely Triggered Dial-Out feature, ensure that your configuration
meets the following prerequisites:
• The dial profile is configured for dial-on-data.
• The SonicWALL Security Appliance is configured to be managed using HTTPS, so that the
device can be accessed remotely.
• Enter a value in the Enable Max Connection Time (minutes) field. 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 Mo
dem > 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 modem 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.
