Adding a New Number on the Dial-up Control List

  1. Go to the Internet Shield page and click Advanced Settings. Then select Dial-up Control and the Number list tab.
  2. Click Add. The Add Number/Range dialog opens.
  3. Enter a description for the number in the Description field.
  4. Enter the number in the Number field.
  5. Enter the possible area code in front of the number. If you want to define a rule that applies to a number range, you can also use the following wildcards:
    • ‘?’ to replace any single digit
    • ‘X’ (upper or lower case letter x) to replace any number of digits. It can be used, for example, if you want to deny dial-up connections abroad: If you normally use ‘00’ to dial abroad, enter ‘00X’in the Number field to define a rule that applies to all dial-up connection attempts abroad.
  6. If you want to deny dial-up connections to the number, make sure Denied is selected. If you want to allow connections to the number, select Allowed. Click OK to return to the Number list tab.
  7. The phone number and the associated action are now displayed on the list.
Creating a New Number Entry on the Dial-up Control List to Override a Pre-defined Number Entry

Your service provider may have pre-defined some numbers to the dial-up control list. As it is not possible to delete or modify pre-defined number entries, you can override them only by adding your own rule for the same number. The rules you create are added on the list above the pre-defined numbers. As the numbers on the list are verified in top-down order, the connection will be allowed or denied based on the rule you have created.

In this example it is assumed that you want to override a pre-defined rule that denies dial-up connections to number ‘0191234567’. This is done as follows:

  1. Go to the Internet Shield page and click Advanced Settings. Then select Dial-up Control and the Number list tab.
  2. Click Add. The Add Number/Range dialog opens.
  3. Enter a description for the number in the Description field; for example: “Allow connections to 0191234567”.
  4. Enter the number in the Number field. In this example: ‘0191234567’.
  5. Select the Allowed option, so that connections to this number will be allowed. Click OK to return to the Number list tab.
  6. The new number entry is now displayed on the list above the pre-defined entry for the same number. Click OK to finish.
