Setting Up Dialup Modems

You can use a connected modem as a primary or secondary Internet connection method. This is useful in locations where broadband Internet access is unavailable.

When used as a backup Internet connection, the modem can be automatically disconnected when not in use. For information on setting up a backup connection, see Configuring a Backup Internet Connection.

The Safe@Office appliance supports the connecting following modems:

• RS232 dialup modem (regular or ISDN)

  You can connect one RS232 to the appliance's Serial port.

  See Setting Up an RS232 Modem.

• USB-based modems, including dialup (PSTN/ISDN) and cellular (GPRS/EVDO/3G) modems

  You can connect up to two USB-based modems to the appliance's USB port.
