Description
When establishing a call in North America, your router specifies a data rate and the
type of call based on this field. Three options are available for this field:
• 64K—The router places a 64 Kbps (kilobits per second) digital data call (default).
• 56K—The router places a 56 Kbps digital data call.
• DOVBS—The router places a 56 Kbps data over voice bearer service (DOVBS)
call. Some phone companies in North America charge less if calls are made
using DOVBS.
This field sets a budget on outgoing call time for the remote node. The default for
this field is 0 for no budget control.
This field sets the time interval to reset the above outgoing call budget control.
Enter any required dialing prefix to be dialed before the Primary or Secondary
phone numbers (for example, to access an outside line or to select an alternative
long distance provider).
Press the space bar to toggle between Yes and No. If the field is set to Yes, the
router dials this remote node automatically upon bootup and does not drop the call.
If the call is dropped by the far end, the router immediately redials.
This field determines the counter increment that the router uses to determine when
the call may be dropped due to an idle condition. When this field is 0 (default) the
router compares the elapsed call time with the Idle Timeout every second. If your
calls are billed in larger increments than one second, enter that period here in
seconds. This prevents the router from hanging up after one minute, for example,
when you have already been charged for three minutes.
Select Yes and press [Enter] to display Menu 11.5, Remote Node Filter if you have
configured a filter in Menu 12 and wish to apply it as a Call Filter or Data filter for
the node. For more information about configuring filter options, see
Sets" on page 7-12.
This value specifies the number of idle seconds elapsed before the remote node is
automatically disconnected. Idle seconds is the period of time where no data is
passed between the remote node and your router. Administrative packets such as
RIP are not counted as data. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes). The setting of
Toll Period may affect the actual disconnect time.
