Connection (dial on demand)
You may choose to bring up a PPPoE/PPPoA DSL, dialout or ISDN connection only
when PCs on the LAN, DMZ or Guest network (via a VPN tunnel) are trying to reach the
Internet and disconnect again when the connection has been idle for a specified period.
This is known as dial on demand, and is particularly useful when your connection is
metered by time.
Click the Edit icon then the Connection tab for the connection for which you wish to
enable dial on demand.
Check Dial on Demand. Idle Time (minutes) is the number of minutes the CyberGuard
SG appliance waits after the connection becomes idle before disconnecting. Max
Connection Attempts specifies the number of times the CyberGuard SG appliance
attempts to connect should the dial up connection fail. This is useful to prevent the
situation where an incorrectly entered username and password or expired account leads
to a large phone bill. Time between redials (seconds) is the time to wait between such
reconnection attempts.
