43.11  Dial-in Management
Connect an external serial modem to the AUX port to provide a management connection in 
case the ZyWALL’s other WAN connections are down. This is like an auxiliary interface, 
except it is used for management connections coming into the ZyWALL instead of as a 
backup WAN connection. 
AT Command Strings
For regular telephone lines, the default Dial string tells the modem that the line uses tone 
dialing. ATDT is the command for a switch that requires tone dialing. If your switch requires 
pulse dialing, change the string to ATDP.
DTR Signal
The majority of WAN devices default to hanging up the current call when the DTR (Data 
Terminal Ready) signal is dropped by the DTE. When the Drop DTR When Hang Up check 
box is selected, the ZyWALL uses this hardware signal to force the WAN device to hang up, 
in addition to issuing the drop command ATH.
Response Strings
The response strings tell the ZyWALL the tags, or labels, immediately preceding the various 
call parameters sent from the serial modem. The response strings have not been standardized; 
please consult the documentation of your serial modem to find the correct tags.
