•If you select None here, the router will not initiate a global dial-back on all incoming connections to this interface.

ϖNote: You may still enforce dial-back security on selected connections by correctly setting the parameters in the User Authentication Database Dialog Box discussed later in this chapter.

Dialing Retries / Connect Retries

Use this parameter to set the number of dialing retry attempts the router will make following an unsuccessful connection effort.

•If you selected the On Demand PPP Link pulldown discussed earlier, this field will be labeled Dialing Retries. This option can only be used if Allow Dial Out has been checked and a Dial-Out Script has been set.

•If you selected the Dedicated PPP Link or Frame Relay Link pulldown discussed earlier, this field will be labeled Connect Retries. On those types of links, this option can only be used if a Connect Script has been set.

Values may range between 1 and 255.

Retry Delay Setting

This parameter sets the amount of time in seconds the router will wait between dialing attempts.

•For an On Demand PPP Link, this option can only be used if Allow Dial Out has been checked and a Dial-Out Script has been set.

•For a Dedicated PPP Link or a Frame Relay Link, this option can only be used if a Connect Script has been set.

Values may range between 1 and 255.

Script Timeout

This is the amount of time in seconds the router will wait for input when it encounters an “Expect” statement in one of your chat scripts.

For more information on Expect statements and chat scripts in general, see the section on the Chat Script Editor Dialog Box later in this manual.
