e.g., a sales rep in a hotel. Note that the default is No, i.e., the
router always calls back to the fixed callback number.
6.
Callback Phone #—If Callback is Yes, then this is a required
field. Otherwise, N/A will appear in the field. Enter the telephone
number to which the router will call back.
7.
Rem CLID—If you have enabled the CLID Authen field in Menu
13, you need to specify the telephone number from which this
Remote Dial-in User calls. Your IRT-1001 or IRT-1002 will check
this number against the CLID in the incoming call. If they do not
match and the CLID Authen is Required, the router will reject the
call.
8.
Idle Time-out—Enter the idle time (in seconds). This time-out
determines how long the dial-in user can be idle before the Your
IRT-1001 or IRT-1002 disconnects the call. Idle time is defined as
the period of time where there is no data traffic between the dial-
in user and the router. The default is 300 seconds (5 minutes).

More on CLID

CLID allows your IRT-1001 or IRT-1002 to authenticate the caller before
a call is answered, thus saving the cost of a connection. The router uses
the caller ID in the ISDN call setup message to match against the CLID
in the database.
However, CLID may not be available due to your switch configuration.
Besides authentication, another application of CLID is to combine it with
callback. For instance, your company pays for the connection charges
for telecommuting employees, and you are using the Your IRT-1001 or
IRT-1002 as the dial-in server. You can turn on both the CLID
authentication and callback options for the dial-in users. By doing so, all
usage are charged to the company instead of the employees, and your
accounting department can avoid the hassles of accountability and
reimbursement.
