APC NetBotz 320 Rack Appliance NBRK0320E Manuel D’Utilisation

Country (if supported by modem)

Some modems support country-specific communications 
parameters to ensure that the modem adheres to 
communications standards and requirements in use in the 
country. If your modem supports these strings the Country 
drop-box will be available. Select from the Country drop 
box the country in which the appliance will be dialing out. 
You can also select None, which will configure the modem 
to use the default communications parameters. 

Schedule: Dial-Out Enable

Check this checkbox to create a schedule of times at which 
your appliance will establish a PPP connection, regardless of 
whether alerts have been generated or not. 
Note: By default no scheduled dial-out events are 
configured. If you choose to enable scheduled dial-outs, you 
should then click the Set Schedule button located beside the 
Enable Dial-Up checkbox to specify the days and times at 
which PPP connections will be established. 

Schedule: Dial-In Enable 

Check this check box to enable PPP dial-in support on your 
appliance. If dial-in support is enabled, you will be able to 
use a system and modem to dial into the appliance and 
establish a PPP connection. The remote system must provide 
a Supervisor User ID and Password to establish the PPP 
connection. For information on how to manage an appliance 
that you have dialed into, see “Managing your Appliance 
Using a Dial-In PPP Connection” on page 125.
Notes: 
• By default dial-in access is enabled 24 hours a day, 7 days 

a week, unless you use the dial-in scheduler to enable and 
disable dial-in access for specified days and times. To 
configure a dial-in access schedule, click the Set Schedule 
button located beside the Enable Dial-in check box.

• Note that, if the appliance encounters a situation that 

requires it to dial-out (due to schedule, alert, or a 
immediate dial-out request), it will immediately over-ride 
any current dial-in session without warning.

Alert Dial-out Settings: Dial-out 
Response to Alerts/Reports

Select from this drop-box the PPP dial-up action that will be 
taken by the appliance when alerts or periodic reports are 
generated. You can select any of the following:
• Disabled — No dial-up action is taken when alerts or 

reports are generated.

• Enabled — Use PPP to connect to the network whenever 

an alert or report is generated.

• Delivery Failure — Use PPP to connect to the network 

only if network-based alert notification (e-mail, FTP, 
HTTP posting, etc.) or report delivery fails. 

Alert Dial-out Settings: Remain 
connected after alerts/reports sent

Use the spin buttons to specify the number of minutes the 
appliance will keep the PPP connection active after 
connecting to the network to deliver alert or report 
information.
