Configuring stand alone mode
Configuring stand alone mode is a matter of configuring the modem information and the dialing mode. The dial mode is either Always Connect or Dial on demand. Selecting Always Connect ensures that once the modem has connected, it remains connected to the ISP. Selecting Dial on Demand, the modem only calls the ISP if packets are routed to the modem interface. Once sent, the modem will disconnect after a specified amount of time.

1. Go to System > Network > Modem.
2. Select the Mode of Standalone.
3. Select the Dial Mode of Dial on Demand.
4. Enter the Idle Timeout of 2 minutes.
5. Select the number of redials the modem attempts if connection fails to 5.
6. Select Apply.
