Quick Startup Guide

11.Enter the IP address and Netmask parameters of the access server at the remote site. This creates a static route to the access server’s network which is entered into the Express L128/L128T’s IP route table.

12.Move the cursor over the RIP menu. Check with the network administra- tor for the type of routing protocol used. The Express L128/L128T sup- ports RIP versions 1 and 2. The protocol is set in the Protocol parameter.

13.Select Yes for the Triggered parameter. This will prevent periodic RIP up- dates that keep the ISDN link from going “idle.”

14.Select Yes for the Retain parameter. This will allow the routes learned from the access server to be saved in the IP routing table. Access to any of those networks from the workstation will cause this profile to be dialed.

15.Use the left arrow to get back to the previous menu. Use the down arrow to view the IPX menu parameters in the right pane.

16.This is similar to steps 13 and 14. Select Yes for Triggered and Yes for Re- tain. This will allow the ISDN link to go to an idle state and permit the Express L128/L128T to “spoof” the server information obtained from the access server. A similar configuration must be selected on the access server.

17.Use the arrows to get the Dial Out menu parameters for this profile.

18.Enter the phone number of the access server in Number 1. If configured by the administrator to use two B-channels using Multilink PPP, set the Initial Channels field to 2. Some PPP protocols, if they exist in the access server, will allow the second channel to come into play only if the band- width is needed. If this is the case, the Express L128/L128T will automat- ically negotiate this with the access server.

19.Now move to the Bandwidth menu for this profile. Once there, use the right arrow to move to the On Demand submenu.

20.Set the Mode parameter to On. This enables the dynamic bandwidth fea- tures of the Express L128/L128T.

21.Select the Idle Timeout parameter and enter the number of seconds the Express L128/L128T should wait before hanging up the connection when no traffic is present. A value of 120 seconds is typical. A value of 0 means never idle the link.

22.All the parameters for this Connection List profile are complete. To save them, press the left arrow to get to the top (main) menu; when prompted

23.Set up the computer workstation’s IP and IPX parameters as instructed by the network administrator. The Express L128/L128T’s IP address should be the computer’s default gateway.
