made to the first profile, the second will be
tried. The i.LON 10 will alternate between
profiles until a connection is established or
until the number of retries specified by
Number of Retries to Use when
Attempting Outbound PPP Connection
Attempts on the Security Configuration Web
page has been reached. Each profile contains
the following options:
Username The username to be used by the i.LON 10
Ethernet Adapter when connecting to an
ISP. This name can be up to 63 characters.
If you are using a GSM/GPRS modem, you
should leave this field blank.
Password The password to be used by the i.LON 10
Ethernet Adapter when connecting to an
ISP. This password can be up to 63
characters.
If you are using a GSM/GPRS modem, you
should leave this field blank.
Phone Number The phone number to be dialed by the i.LON
10 Ethernet Adapter for this profile. This
field accepts all alphanumeric characters and
the following additional characters:
- , ; ! @ * # =
This field may contain up to 63 characters
(no spaces).
If you are dialing a regular phone number
(i.e. not a packet switching connection like a
cell phone), it is recommended that you
append a ‘@’ to the end of your phone number
(e.g. 1-800-555-1212@). This will cause the
i.LON 10 to log “NO ANSWER” rather than
“NO CARRIER” if the phone is not answered.
This is important because the i.LON 10 will
stop dialing a number if it gets two “NO
CARRIER” responses, since it is assumed to
be a voice pickup and FCC regulations
prohibit more than two calls from a modem
to a voice-answered phone number.
If you are using a GSM/GPRS modem, you
should set this field to 99***1#.
Disconnect if Idle For The idle timeout in seconds. If the
connection is idle for this length of time, the
call will be ended. By default, this value is
set to 1200 seconds. This value must be an
integer 0 or greater.
