86CHAPTER 8: PLACING, RECEIVING AND DISCONNECTING CALLS
Placing a Call | You can also manually place a call to an existing service provider or to a |
Manually | destination that has not been previously defined as long as the remote location |
| provides an IP address dynamically during call setup. |
Placing a Call Manually | To place a call manually to a service provider that is already configured, do the |
to an Existing Service | following. |
Provider | The existing service provider must be associated with your workstation in order for |
| |
| you to place a manual call to it. By default all service providers are associated with |
| all workstations. If you are unsure, click Workstations from the main page and |
| then select your workstation. Make sure the service provider you want to call is |
| associated with your workstation. |
1From the ISDN LAN Modem home page, click the Manual Calling button. The Manual Call Control window appears.
2In the table, locate the name of the service provider to which you want to connect and then verify that the call is not already connected to that destination by looking under the Status of Call column.
3Click Place Call.
A message indicates that the call is being placed. A B channel LED on the ISDN LAN Modem front panel illuminates green when a connection is established. Once connected you are ready to run any desired application appropriate for that location, such as FTP to transfer files, or you may enter a different URL in your Web browser to access the Internet.
Placing a Call Manually To place a call manually to a service provider that has not been previously
to a Temporary Service configured, do the following. Note that for this type of manual call, the service Provider provider must supply a dynamic IP address.
This call profile will remain under TempSvcProvider until you change the settings of these fields.
1From the ISDN LAN Modem’s home page, click Manual Calling. The Manual Call Control window appears.
2In the table, locate TempSvcProvider.
3Click Place Call.
4Enter the telephone number of the destination in the Telephone Number field.
5Enter your User ID for the remote destination.
6Enter your Password for the remote destination.
7Enter the DNS address if the remote destination does not automatically provide an IP address. Otherwise, leave this field empty.
8Specify how you would like the bandwidth allocated for this connection.
You can choose always to use just one B channel for this connection, always to use two B channels for this connection (that is, always use Multilink PPP), or you can specify that you only want the second B channel added when the first
B channel reaches the threshold. The threshold default is 60%. To change the threshold default, refer to “Changing Data Call Parameters” in Chapter 5.
