28.1 Introduction to Remote Node Setup

A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the
remote gateway and the network behind it across a WAN connection. Note that when you use menu 4
to set up Internet access, you are actually configuring a remote node. The following describes how to
configure Menu 11.1 Remote Node Profile, Menu 11.3 - Remote Node Network Layer Options
and Menu 11.5 - Remote Node Filter.

28.2 Remote Node Setup

From the main menu, select menu option 11 to open Menu 11 Remote Node Setup (shown below).
Then enter 1 to open Menu 11.1 Remote Node Profile and configure the setup for your regular ISP.
Enter 3 to open Menu 11.1 Remote Node Profile (Backup ISP) and configure the setup for your Dial
Backup port connection (see the WAN and Dial Backup Setup chapter).

There are two variations of menu 11.1 depending on whether you choose Ethernet Encapsulation or
