Suggested for Dial-On-Demand Operation

This mode of operation is only supported on the WAN RS-232 inter- face. Outgoing dial-on-demand requires some additional information.

•Create dial-out script

•Set dialing method

•Set dial-out script to be used

•Set inactivity time

CV: Use the Link Configuration: WAN 0 Dialog Box to set the dialing method and to select a chat script (once you have created one). Use the WAN Chat Scripts Dialog Box (under Global/WAN Chat Scripts) to create your chat script.

TB: Use configure and then set the Dialing, DialOutScript, and DropInact keywords in the Link Config WAN 0 section. Use edit config and create a Chat section to contain your dialing script.

IP Protocol

Required for IP

WAN interfaces which are set for PPP operation do not generally use an IP address. They are set to act as an “unnumbered interface.” In this mode of operation, there are no required settings.

Suggested for IP

These parameters help supply information about the segment that the interface is connected to. With this information, routing can take place.

•Set IP RIP 1, IP RIP 2, or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)

•IP Static Routes

CV: Use the TCP/IP Routing: WAN 0 Dialog Box to set RIPor OSPF, and the IP Static Routing Dialog Box (under Global/IP Static Routes) to set static routes.

TB: Use configure and set either the RIPVersion keyword or the OSPFEnabled keyword in the IP WAN 0 section. Add static routes and a default router using the edit config IP Static command.

ϖNote: If you set RIP to “on” for a dial-on-demand link, you must also set the update method to triggered to avoid the link being brought up by transmission of RIP information. You should only use triggered
