Call Control

Dial Timeout (sec)

Enter a number of seconds for the ZyWALL to keep trying to set up an outgoing

up an outgoing call within the timeout value. 

Retry Count

Enter a number of times for the ZyWALL to retry a busy or no-answer phone 
number before blacklisting the number.

Retry Interval (sec)

Enter a number of seconds for the ZyWALL to wait before trying another call after 
a call has failed. This applies before a phone number is blacklisted. 

Drop Timeout (sec)

Enter a number of seconds for the ZyWALL to wait before dropping the DTR 
signal if it does not receive a positive disconnect confirmation.

Call Back Delay

request call and dialing the co-responding callback call.
