Configuring the i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter for Dial-out

The i.LON 10 Ethernet Adapter can be configured to dial-out when it needs to

form an uplink communication with the LNS Server. To configure the i.LON 10
Ethernet adapter to dial-out to an ISP, follow these steps:
1. If Allow Access to Secure Pages Without a Security Access Reset is

not enabled on the Security Web page, perform a security access reset as

described in Performing a Security Access Reset in Chapter 5.

2. Click Security to open the i.LON 10 Security Configuration Web page.
3. If it is not already checked, check the Allow Access to Secure Pages

Without a Security Access Reset option, click Submit, and then wait for
the i.LON 10 to reboot.

4. Ensure that the Enable Outbound PPP Calls checkbox is set.
5. Set Number of Retries to Use When Attempting Outbound PPP

Connection Attempts.

6. If Enable Ethernet is checked, check Use PPP as Dial Backup when

Ethernet Link Fails. If this is not set, the i.LON 10 will never attempt to

dial out.

7. Click Submit.
8. Click General to open the General Setup Web page.
9. Enter the IP address or hostname (if DNS is enabled) for an LNS Server in

LNS Server 1. Optionally set LNS Server 2 and LNS Server 3 to

configure backup LNS Servers.

10. Set at least one of the Initiate Session when an NV/Explicit Message of

the Following Types Destined for the LNS Host is Received options so

a uplink connection will be attempted when the specified type of network

variable or explicit message is sent to the host.

11. Click Submit.
12. Click PPP to open the i.LON 10 PPP Configuration Web page.
13. Set the ISP phone number, user name, password, and initialization string

under Profile 1 and Profile 2 as described under The i.LON 10 Ethernet

Adapter PPP Configuration Page, earlier in this chapter.

14. Click Submit.
When the i.LON 10 needs to communicate with the LNS Server (as determined

by the Initiate Session options on the General Configuration Web page) it will
attempt to dial the number configured in Profile 1; if no connection is

established, it will attempt the number configured in Profile 2; both numbers

will be retried up to the number of times specified by the Number of Retries
option set in step 3.
