Configuring Profile and Modem Settings
To configure the SonicWALL security appliance modem settings, perform the following steps:
1
Select the volume of the modem from the Speaker Volume menu. The default value is Medium.
2
Select Initialize Modem For Use In and select the country from the drop-down menu. United
States is selected by default.
3
If the modem uses AT commands to initialize, select Initialize Modem Using AT Commands.
Enter any AT commands used for the modem in the AT Commands (for modem initialization)
field. AT commands are instructions used to control a modem such as ATS7=30 (allows up to 30
seconds to wait for a dial tone), ATS8=2 (sets the amount of time the modem pauses when it
encounters a “,” in the string).
4
Select the profile you want to use for the primary profile from the Primary Profile menu that the
SonicWALL security appliance uses to access the modem. If you have enabled Manual Dial for
the Primary Profile, the Alternate Profile 1 is not used.
5
Select the secondary profile from the Alternate Profile 1 menu. If the Primary Profile cannot
establish a connection, the SonicWALL security appliance uses the Alternate Profile 1 profile to
access the modem and establish a connection

Tip: The default settings for the modem are generally sufficient for normal operation. The AT
Commands (for modem initialization) box is provided for nonstandard situations.
