DI-308 ISDN Remote Router
Outgoing
Remote IP Address – This is the IP address that will be assigned to the dial-in
network when the IP Address Supply setting below is set to Default. Assigning an
IP address to the router dialing in ensures that the IP address does not clash with
other IP addresses on your network. For dial out connections utilizing dial on
demand, the IP address of the remote router needs to be entered here so the router
knows which remote network to establish a connection with to deliver the packet.
IP Address Supply – This field defines how the router will assign an IP address
to a device dialing in. The choices include:
Default – Uses the Remote IP address defined above,
Dynamic - Taken from the Dial In IP pool, or
None - The remote user supplies their own IP Address.
Multi-Link PPP – Enables or disables multi-link PPP on this remote node. Both
MLPPP and Bandwidth On Demand (BOD) must be enabled for BOD to
function. If MLPPP is enabled and BOD is disabled, then both ports will dial up,
establish a direct connection, and combine the bandwidth of the two connections
using the MLPPP protocol. Please note that the DI-308 contains only one MLPPP
bundle.
Compression – This is an industry standard, 4:1 Stac compression scheme. When
enabled, the router will try to use compression on this remote node whenever
possible. If the destination device is not capable of using Stac compression, the
two devices will still communicate, albeit without using Stac compression. When
disabled, compression will never be used on this remote node.
State – Enables or disables this Remote Network Profile.
DHCP Configuration
The DI-308 Router implements the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP),
which allows the entire IP network to be centrally managed by the router. It does this
by assigning IP addresses and configuration parameters to hosts as they are powered
on and come onto the network. This can be a great help for network administration
calling from the telephone number defined here, otherwise the call will not be
accepted. This function is disabled if the field is left blank.
Call Back – This field determines whether the router calls back after
receiving a call from this Remote Network Profile. If this option is enabled,
the router will disconnect the initial call and call back to the phone number
that you provide. Note that this field will be valid only if the Direction setting
above is Both.
Name – The maximum length is 64 characters. Spaces and punctuation are not
usually accepted. This username is for password challenges (authentication)
which are automatically handled by the router when dialing out. The DI-308
will use PAP and CHAP (whichever works) to make the connection.
Password – This is the password associated with the above Name field.
