Description
Enter a descriptive name for the remote node (for example, MyOffice). This field
supports up to eight characters. This name must be unique from any other
remote node name or remote dial-in user name. This field is required.
Use this box to control the rate at which the data is transferred between your
router and the remote node. There are three options for this field:
• 64K—The router places 64 Kbps digital data calls (default).
• 56K—The router places 56 Kbps digital data call.
• DOVBS—The router places 56 Kbps Data Over Speech Bearer Service
(DOVBS) calls. Some phone companies in North America charge less if calls
are made with the DOSBS option.
If this parameter is set to Both, the router can both place and receive calls to and
from this remote node. If set to Incoming, the router does not place a call to this
remote node. If set to Outgoing, the router does not accept any call from this
remote node. In order to enable Callback, the Call Direction must be set to Both.
Select this check box to make the remote node active, or clear it to deactivate
the node. When you deactivate a remote node, it has no effect on the operation
of the router, even though it is still kept in the database and can be activated in
the future.
Use this parameter group to onfigure the router to call the remote node.
This group is valid only if Call Direction is set to Both or Out.
Enter the login name your router uses when it calls this remote node.
Enter the password your router uses when it calls this remote node.
Enter the primary and second phone numbers. The primary and secondary phone
numbers are the numbers that the router dials to connect to the remote node.
The router always calls the remote node using the primary phone number first.
If the primary phone number is busy or does not answer, the router calls the
secondary phone number if available. Note that the secondary number is not
necessarily the number your router dials to add additional bandwidth for a Multilink
call. If the called router supports BACP, that router provides the dial number for a
second call. In North America, enter the full number including area code.
Use this field to set the authentication protocol used for outgoing calls.
The router supports two authentication protocols: PAP (Password Authentication
Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol).
PAP sends the user's name and password in plain text. CHAP scrambles
the password before it is sent over the wire. Options for this field are:
• CHAP/PAP—The router tries CHAP when CHAP is requested by the remote
node or PAP when PAP is requested by the remote node. (Default)
• CHAP—Use CHAP only.
• PAP—Use PAP only.
