Configure Remote Site Profiles for ISDN PPP
If this router is configured to have at least one ISDN switched circuit, the ISDN call parameters must be defined so that the router knows what ISDN phone number to dial when a connection to this remote site is required and what security parameters to use when establishing a connection.
When this router receives an ISDN connection it will prompt the calling device for a user name and password (PPP access security); once the name and password have been authenticated, the user name is used to search the remote site profile entries to find a match. Once a match is found, the configuration parameters defined within that remote site profile are used to finish establishing the PPP connection. For example, if this router receives an ISDN call from another device and in response to the user name prompt receives the name “Calgary”, it will look in the remote site list for a profile with the alias “Calgary”. If the “Calgary” profile is found, the parameters in it will be used for password authentication and completion of the connection. If there is no match for the user name “Calgary”, the call will be rejected.
The remote site profile alias, user name of the security entry, and the user name defined on the partner PPP router must all be the same for the connection to be established.
