Windows Dial-up Networking (DUN)

Rev 3.0B Feb.08

177

Caution: If you have an existing LAN connection, installing DUN for
the modem may interfere with the LAN connection. It's recommended
to disconnect your LAN connection before using a PPP connection
with your PinPoint X.

Once the DUN connection is initiated, by default, it will take 
over as the “default route” for network communication and 
specifically for Internet access. If you want the two connections 
to co‐exist, you will need to de‐select “Use default gateway on 
remote network” (described later) and use the route command 
in Windows to setup routing through the modem properly. 
This guide does not provide information on the route 
command. You may need to consult with your network admin‐
istrator to properly configure routing.
