Connecting to an IP Host on the Same IP Network

To connect to an IP host on the same network using FastConnect, enter IPB at the command prompt on the Quick Configuration screen to display the screen illustrated in Figure 1-12.

Figure 1-12 Connecting To An IP Host On The Same Network

Complete the fields on this screen as follows:

Remote ISDN Number Type the ISDN number of the remote unit that connects to the IP network.

Call Type Set the Call Type for each ISDN number. Use 64k Unrestricted for Euro ISDN lines. Use 56k V.110 or 56k_restricted in the USA depending on the requirements of your ISDN service provider.

Remote IP Address Type the IP address of the remote IP host to which you want to connect.

Press [CTRL]+[E] to submit this information.

An entry is made in the autocall table so that if any data destined to the remote host, a call is made automatically and a connection made to the remote IP network.

Enter SAVE at the command prompt to permanently store this configuration in the unit’s memory.

Although calls to the remote site are only generated when data is addressed to a specific IP host or hosts (in our example, 191.000.000.100), any data that cannot be identified as local is also passed over the link while it is open. This can prevent the link from closing after the intended data has been transferred.
