Remote Direct Connection; The Talkwire List - Cabletron Systems CBU-NM User Manual

If a device is password protected, the connection process will time out,
allowing you to enter the password in the Control Terminal window. Note
that the Direct connect command will be unable to select the correct
channel in this case.

4.5.2 Remote Direct Connection

PCNC allows you to talk to Remote KBU devices as if they were local,
by dialling them from KBUs that are local.
defined in the 'Talkwire List'.
If a remote device is password protected, you will need to enter a
password when the connection process completes. If you do not know
the password, use the Direct disconnect command from the Network
menu or Speed menu.
Remote connections feature a 'timeout' facility, which automatically
disconnects you from the remote device if the prompt is not used for a
certain length of time. This period is specified in PCNC.INI.

4.5.3 The Talkwire List

This is a list of all the local KBU channels (known as 'Talkwire Units')
which have been allocated for use in Remote Direct Connection.
Channels defined as Talkwire Units display 'Tw' in the Location field of
their entry in the Network Inspector window. Devices that have one or
more channels in the Talkwire List also display 'Tw'.
When you Direct Connect to a remote device, PCNC tries to establish
the remote connection using each unit in the list in turn. Typically the
first unit is available and will be used. The program will keep trying until
it makes the connection or encounters an unrecoverable error, such as
'Remote unit busy' or 'ISDN number invalid'. You should ensure that no
devices in the talkwire list are password protected.
Because you can designate any local KBU channel to be a Talkwire Unit,
you do not need to set aside a separate device to make this remote
connection. Each channel named in the list is still available to backup
when required, but note that when a Talkwire unit is being used to make
a remote direct connection, it will be busy, and unavailable for normal
use as a backup device.
NB: The Remote Connect and Talkwire List facilities are currently only
available on KBU 64 devices.
