Outgoing Calls

If the proﬁle is conﬁgured to remain active after a link disconnects, a virtual connection remains. The virtual connection monitors the LAN trafﬁc. If packets destined for the WAN are detected, the router opens up the physical connection and forwards the packets.

If the proﬁle is conﬁgured to become inactive after a link disconnects, both the physical link and the virtual connection to the remote router are disconnected until another call is received from the same remote router.

Outgoing Calls

Outgoing calls require that the associated user-deﬁned proﬁles be set to active, that the set auto command be on, and that a phone number to call be stored in the proﬁle. If the proﬁle is inactive, a number to dial is not available to the router.
