INTERNET DIAL-OUT CONNECTION (PPP)
If NetCam's primary connection to the Internet will be a dial-up modem connection to the Internet, enter your ISP (Internet Service Provider) account information here.
INTERNET DIAL-OUT CONNECTION
Check on if you'd like NetCam to use an external modem to dial the Internet.
BAUD RATE This represents the speed or baud rate at which NetCam will communicate with the external modem. For most dial-up accounts, a baud rate of 38400 or 19200 works best.
Default: 38400
INITIALIZATION STRING This is a string that configures your modem before dialing the Internet.
Default: AT
PHONE NUMBER The phone number of the ISP (Internet Service Provider). You can embed special characters in the phone number.

, = pause one second
# = same as # button on phone
* = same as * button on phone

Example: *70,555-1212 (the *70, turns off the call waiting feature and pauses before dialing the ISP)
TIMEOUT NetCam will attempt to dial up the ISP for the specified number of seconds. If NetCam is unable to connect during this time period, it will stop and start over again.
Default: 180
USERNAME The username or login assigned to you by your ISP.
PASSWORD The password assigned to you by your ISP.
DEFAULT CONNECTION Enabling this option makes the ISP dial-out connection NetCam's default connection to the Internet.
Default: On
ALWAYS UP If enabled, NetCam will attempt to stay continuously connected to the Internet. If disconnected, it will automatically attempt to reconnect. If NetCam is configured to upload images to a server via FTP, it is not necessary to enable this option -- NetCam will automatically attempt to dial into the Internet when an image is scheduled to upload if dial-out is enabled.

Default: Off
SEND CR AFTER LOGIN This advanced ISP option tells NetCam to send a CR (Carriage Return) after logging in. Most ISP's don't require this, but some do.

Default: Off
SHELL LOGIN This advanced ISP option tells NetCam to perform a shell login. Most ISP's don't require this, but some do.
Default: Off
