Chapter 4 - RouteFinder Software
WAN Port Setup
The WAN Port Setup dialog box controls how the port is configured (i.e., frame relay or point-to- point). If the WAN port is configured for frame relay, then the mode of the port is synchronous. If the port is configured for point-to-point, then the mode can be either synchronous or asynchronous. If the mode is asynchronous, then the connection method can be either Answering or Dialing. If the connection method is dialing, then a number to be dialed has to be entered in the Dial Number field and the Modem Types field.
If the Frame Relay Device Driver is chosen, the RouteFinder encapsulates data on its composite link for transmission over a frame relay network. Enabling this device driver requires additional frame relay configuration by choosing the Frame Relay button in the RouteFinder Setup dialog box.
If the PPP/SLIP mode is chosen, the RouteFinder is configured for a point-to-point configuration which allows for the transferring of packets between two end points. Enabling this device driver allows for either an asynchronous or synchronous device to be connected between the end points. If an asynchronous device is used, the RouteFinder can be used as a single port remote access server. When the PPP/SLIP mode is used, further configuration is required using the PPP button in the RouteFinder Setup dialog box.
The WAN Port Setup Advanced tab contains options which control message printing and script printing, modem type control, and ISDN TA control.
