6.2 Connection with a single leased link — dial on demand
If the WinRoute host is connected to the Internet via dial-up, WinRoute can automatically dial
the connection when users attempt to access the Internet. WinRoute provides the following
options of dialing/hanging control:
•
Line is dialed when a request from the local network is received. This function is called
Dial on demand. For further description see below.
•
Line is disconnected automatically if idle for a certain period (no data is transmitted
in both directions).
•
Maintenance of persistent connection or disconnection of the link within defined time
ranges.
Requirements
The corresponding device must be installed on the WinRoute (usually an analog or an ISDN
modem) and the corresponding dial-up connection must be created in the operating system.
It is not necessary to define and save login data in the dial-up settings, this information can be
defined directly in WinRoute. This connection type also requires one or more network cards
for connection of individual segments of the LAN. Default gateway must NOT be set on any of
these cards!
We recommend you to create and test a dial-up connection before installing WinRoute.
Warning
Before configuring the LAN and the firewall for a Internet link dialed on demand, please pay
special attention to the information provided in chapter
. Correct configuration of the
network with respect to specific qualities and behaviour of on demand dial helps to avoid
subsequent problems.
Configuration with the wizard
On the second page of the Traffic Policy Wizard (see chapter
), select A Single Internet Link
— Dial on Demand.
On the third page of the wizard, select a corresponding dial-up connection (Internet link).
If authentication data are not saved in the operating system, username and password are
