Configuring dial-up options
There are many dialing features that you can use to streamline the dial-up connection process. For instructions about configuring a dialing feature, click the feature in the following table.
| Dialing feature | Function |
|---|---|
Reduces phone charges by having the remote access server dial back to your location after you initially connect. |
|
Remembers network addresses to connection destinations, which allows them to be automatically dialed when referenced from an application or from the command prompt. |
|
Combines multiple physical links, which increases the aggregate bandwidth of your connection, and dynamically dials and drops multilinked lines as needed. |
|
Manually inserts characters to force dialing behaviors (pause, suspend dialing until input provided, and so on). |
|
Specifies the number of times your connection automatically redials when you fail to connect to your remote access server. You can also set this feature to reconnect automatically when an inactive link is dropped. |
|
Assigns more than one destination phone number to your dial-up connection. This is useful if you have a pool of phone numbers to connect to. |
|
Overrides automatic dial-up situations where intervention is required. For example, when you call through a manually operated switchboard. |
Note
- You can configure dial-up options that apply to all connections within a location (for example, dialing 9 for an outside line, disabling call waiting, using pulse dialing instead of tone dialing, and so on) in Phone and Modem Options. For more information, see Create a new location.
