Quick Configuration

This section describes how you can configure the unit to bridge or route over ISDN links to suit most networking requirements using a simple forms-based user interface. If you want to connect to a remote site using leased line WAN links see “Setting Up a WAN Link” on page 1-39.

If you are unsure about the networking configuration you require, see “Examples of Typical ISDN Networking Applications” on page 1-41for more information.

IMPORTANT The Quick Configuration menu option is designed to be used only when you set up the unit for the first time. If you want to make any changes to the unit’s configuration at a later stage, use the management system menus to make these changes. For more information, see the AccessBuilder ISDN Access Router Software Reference guide.
