Issue a reset annex dialout command.

Initiate a dynamic dialing session.
a) On the terminal connected to each Model 5390 server, issue the CLI superuser modem
–a command to verify the modem type and each of the strings defined for the modem.
b) On each Model 5390 server, issue a CLI netstat –r command to verify that there is a route
(for example, do2).
c) When outbound traffic is detected, the Model 5390 server initiates a dial-out connection
based on the information in the dialout section of the Model 5390 configuration file.
Debug level syslogging tracks the connection attempt.
d) If the network inactivity timer expires before the dial-out connection is established, the
Model 5390 server breaks the connection. Any subsequent activity across the link (that
has not been filtered out) reestablishes the dynamic dial connection.
See Sample Configurations for Dynamic Dialing starting on page A11-8 for an example of a final
configuration for two Model 5390 servers.
For details on filtering, see Filtering starting on page A13-1.

NOTE: If a SLIP or PPP line is using both dynamic dialing and net-
work inactivity, network inactivity only goes into effect after dynamic
dialing has been activated.
