Menus Reference Manual: Edit Remote Site Menu – Connection Set-Up Menu
3/4 - Security Parameters
The Security Parameters option allows you to set the password that this remote site will use for incoming security
authorization and to set a user name and password for outgoing security authorization.
Note: This option will not appear if the remote site is configured for raw 1490 frame relay. Routers configured to have a
leased line link operating in conjunction with an ISDN B-Channel (either as backup or bundled link) must have security
enabled and with the proper usernames and passwords entered on both partner routers.
4/5- Remote Site Alias
The Remote Site Alias option defines the name used to represent this remote site. 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 call will use the configuration defined within the corresponding remote site profile.
The remote site alias is case sensitive and may consist of 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters. Use the underscore character
instead of a space character.
5/6 – Connection
The Connections option defines the type of connection and its usage.
Options: single_link, dual_link, threshold, recovery, threshold_with_recovery.
Single link operation: only one link (the primary link) will be used for connection to this remote site.
Dual link operation: Two links will be available for connection to this remote site; both will be brought up any time a
connection to this site is established.
Threshold: traffic levels on the primary link will be use to determine whether or not to bring up the secondary link.
The conditions controlling the secondary link are set under the Activation menu. This option is not available with raw
1490 Frame Relay (PPP Encapsulation must be enabled).
Recovery: The secondary link will be used as a backup connection in case of failure of the primary link. The
conditions controlling the secondary link are set under the Activation menu.
Threshold with recovery: the secondary link will be brought up if traffic on the primary link exceeds a threshold level
or if the primary link fails. The conditions controlling the secondary link are set under the Activation menu.
Considerations: The "threshold with recovery" option is not compatible with partner routers that are configured to have
only "threshold" or only "recovery" available on the link. If a connection of this type is attempted, the link will bob
when the connection criteria are met for one router but not for the other. For example, if one is set for
"threshold_with_recovery" and the other is set only for "recovery", when the threshold is exceeded the router with
"threshold_with_recovery" will attempt to bring up the connection, but because the partner router is not set for
threshold activation, the partner router will bring the connection down.
