It is good practise to have ensured that the remote unit was restored to the factory default settings before being despatched to the remote site.

CAUTION: Prior to despatch, it is essential that the unit has the ISDN Network Type field configured to match the ISDN network type at the remote site.

Prior to Despatch

Power on the unit and follow the sequence of steps for resetting the unit to the factory default configuration, as described in “Manual Configuration of a Central Site Unit for Bridging and IPX” on page 4-3.

Configure the ISDN network type to the correct setting for the remote site, following the sequence of steps described in “Configure the ISDN Network Type” on page 4-4.

When the unit is received at the remote site, ensure that it is powered on and that the ISDN Port is connected to a correctly functioning ISDN line, using the supplied ISDN cable.

Configuring the Central Site Unit

The central site unit must be correctly configured with the following parameters:

■Unit name (see page 4-4).

■A valid IP address and subnet mask (see page 4-4).

■The IPX network number (see page 4-4).

■The IPX frame type (see page 4-4).

■The correct ISDN network type (see page 4-4).
