The REMOTE SITE SET-UP MENU allows the display, configuration, and creation of remote site profiles. Remote site
profiles are used to establish PPP connections to other PPP routers. The appearance of this menu will vary depending on the
interface modules installed and their configuration.
Important: When configuring this P1700 to be the originator of PPP ISDN calls or leased line connections, always define a
remote site for each of the possible remote partner routers that this P1700 may connect to. For Frame Relay
connections, remote site profiles are created automatically if auto-learning is enabled. If auto-learning is disabled,
then frame relay remote sites must be manually configured as well. Each of the remote sites created stores all of
the configuration information required to properly maintain the PPP connection to that remote PPP router.
The remote site alias is used to match against the incoming user name during authentication. If an authenticated
user name is the same as one of the configured remote site profiles, that connection will use the configuration
defined within the remote site profile.
The configuration parameters for a remote site profile may be set by using another profile as a template. Three remote site
table entries have been reserved for ISDN, leased line and Frame Relay remote site profile templates; these are:
Parameters for these profiles may be set under the "Edit Remote Site" menu option If a number of remote sites will have a
similar profiles, copying the remote site profile from a template can save considerable time in setting them up.
If this router has an ISDN BRI interface and it is set for Digital Leased Circuit, the ISDN B-channel will be treated as a
leased line connection.
When the P1700 receives an incoming ISDN call, the Multilink state is taken from the "ISDN_TEMPLATE" remote site
profile. After the authentication process is finished, if the remote site is a valid remote site that has already been configured,
the remaining call parameters are taken from the configured remote site profile. If the remote site does not match one of the
configured remote site profiles, then the remaining call parameters will be taken from the "ISDN_TEMPLATE" remote site
profile and a remote site profile for that link will be dynamically created at the next available remote site ID number. The
newly created remote site profile will be named "INCOMING n" where "n" is the next unassigned Initial Profile number (n
will be between 1 and 2).
When CallerID security is enabled, an incoming call will not be accepted if the remote site does not match one of the
configured remote site profiles.
