Do you have a local server? Use the [Spacebar] to toggle this field to Yes or No as appropriate.

If you have a local server, the unit’s configuration is updated to ensure that no data destined for local servers is passed over the link

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

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

When you do this the unit automatically makes a short call to the remote unit to interrogate the remote network for information about its servers. When it has obtained the information it needs the call is automatically disconnected. The unit then updates the autocall table so that when data is destined for a remote server, the unit automatically dials the correct ISDN number and connects to the remote network.

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