The Wakeup-on-Call feature allows the router to wake up and initiate a connection when there is an incoming call 
or LAN activity. . The Wakeup-on-Call feature reduces the cost incurred when a router is online and available 24/7. 

If you desire some security with this feature, you can set up the router to wake up based on Caller ID or SMS 
instead of allowing all incoming calls to wake up the router. Dial-on-Demand in the IP Setup menu must be 
enabled for wakeup-on-call features to go into effect.  

When provisioning this feature, you must allow incoming calls, SMS capability, and caller-id. 

 

Enable or disable the Wakeup-on-Call feature. The default is Disable. Wakeup on Call occurs 

when a ring or caller ID is detected. This triggers the router to reconnect after the ‘Time Delay’ expires. 

 Enter the amount of time that you want to pass between the reception of a call and the initiation of 

the Wakeup-on-Call connection. A time delay is needed to make sure that the incoming call has ended before the 
connection is initiated. The default is 10 seconds. 

The default is disable. When enabled, the router reconnects when it sees IP traffic on 

the LAN is needed to route. If this feature is disabled, Dial-on-Demand initiates a PPP connection to the Internet 
only from the WAN, not from the LAN.
