In this field… Do this…
On outgoing
activity
Select this option to specify that the appliance should only establish a
connection if no other connection exists, and there is outgoing activity
(that is, packets need to be transmitted to the Internet).
If another connection opens, or if the connection times out, the appliance
will disconnect.
Idle timeout Type the amount of time (in minutes) that the connection can remain idle.
Once this period of time has elapsed, the appliance will disconnect.
The default value is 1.
Delay before
connecting
Type the amount of time (in seconds) that the appliance should wait to
re-connect to the Internet, if the connection goes down.
If you have an unstable Internet connection that tends to go down and
then return almost immediately, this setting allows you to avoid
unnecessary and costly dialing during outage periods, by deferring re-
connection for a few seconds.
The default value is 0.
Obtain IP address
automatically
(using DHCP)
Clear this option if you do not want the UTM-1 appliance to obtain an IP
address automatically using DHCP.
IP Address Type the static IP address of your UTM-1 appliance.
Subnet Mask Select the subnet mask that applies to the static IP address of your UTM-
1 appliance.
Default Gateway Type the IP address of your ISP’s default gateway.
