Bay Technical Associates RM356 manual Menu 11.1 Remote Node Profile Fields, Field Description

Reference Guide for the Model RM356 Modem Router

Table 5-1.	Menu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile Fields
Field		Description
Rem Node Name		This field is required. Enter a descriptive name for the remote node (for example,
		MyOffice). This field supports up to eight characters. This name must be unique
		from any other remote node name or remote dial-in user name.
Active		Press the space bar to toggle between Yes and No. When a remote node is
		deactivated, it has no effect on the operation of the router, even though it is still kept
		in the database and can be activated in the future. Deactivated nodes are
		displayed with a minus sign (-) preceding the name in Menu 11.
Call Direction		If this parameter is set to Both, the router can place and receive calls to and from
		this remote node. If set to Incoming, the router does not place a call to this remote
		node. If set to Outgoing, the router will drop any call from this remote node.
		Several other fields in this menu depend on this parameter. For example, in order
		to enable Call Back, the Call Direction must be Both.
Incoming:
Rem Login		Enter the login name that this remote node will use when it calls into the router.
Name
Rem Password		Enter the password used when this remote node calls into the router.
Rem CLID		This field is active only if Call Direction is either Both or Incoming. Otherwise, N/A
		appears in the field. This is the Calling Line ID (the telephone number of the calling
		party) of this remote node. If you enable the CLID Authen field in Menu 13 - Default
		Dial In, the router checks this number against the CLID in the incoming call. If they
		do not match and the CLID Authen option is enabled, the router rejects the call.
Call Back		This field is valid only if Call Direction is Both. Otherwise, N/A appears in the field.
		This field determines whether or not you want the router to call back after receiving
		a call from this remote node. If this option is enabled, the router disconnects the
		initial call from this node and calls the node back at the Outgoing Primary Phone
		Number.
Outgoing:
My Login Name		This field is required if Call Direction is either Both or Out. Enter the login name
		your router uses when it calls this remote node.
My Password		This field is required if Call Direction is either Both or Out. Enter the password your
		router uses when it calls this remote node.
Authen		This field sets the authentication protocol used for outgoing calls. Options for this
		field are:
		• CHAP/PAP—Router will try CHAP when CHAP is requested by the remote node
		or PAP when PAP is requested by the remote node (Default).
		• PAP—Use PAP only.
		• CHAP—Use CHAP only.
