DI-206 ISDN Remote Router

When this is set to Out, the router will only make calls on the ISDN interface specified in the Interface field below. Also, the outgoing calls will be subject to the Name, Password and Phone Number fields in the Outgoing section below.

When set to Both, the dial in and dial out conditions described above will both be observed.

•Interface – ISDN Link 1 [ISDN L1] or ISDN Link 2 [ISDN L2]. This field is used to assign a remote network to a logical (virtual) interface called a virtual circuit. More than one remote network can be configured to use the same interface, but they cannot be connected at the same time. Thus, if you wish to have two WAN connections operate simultaneously, make sure they are configured on different interfaces. On the other hand, if you have two dial-out remote network profiles but wish to keep one line always open for dial-in users, make sure the two dial-out profiles use the same interface. In this case, the two profiles will share the same interface; the second one using it after the first one’s idle time has expired and it has relinquished it.

•Phone - This is the telephone number that will be dialed to make the outgoing connection.

•Idle Time – This is the elapsed time (in seconds), of inactivity, that will trigger the router to disconnect this interface.

•Set Peer IP as Default Gateway – When enabled, this feature sets the IP address of the remote device as the default gateway (default next hop router) for all packets not found in the routing table. This option should be enabled for the ISDN circuit (ISDN1 or ISDN2) that is used to connect to the Internet. Also, if the Peer IP is set as the default gateway here, you still need to define a static default route in the Network Configuration, IP Static Route submenu, but you don’t need to designate a gateway IP address for the static route (the routers will automatically negotiate and adjust the gateway IP setting accordingly). And also make sure that the Remote IP Address in the Remote Networks Profile is set to 0.0.0.0. Note that only one ISDN circuit should be connected to the Internet, and only one ISDN circuit (the same one) should be the default gateway.

•Incoming

•Name – The maximum length is 64 characters. This username is for password challenges (authentication). The user dialing in must supply this username in order to be allowed access to the router.

•Password – This is the password associated with the above Name field.

•Rem CLID – Remote Caller ID. This is the telephone number of the Remote User and is used for security. When a phone number is entered in this field, the router will make sure that the incoming call is coming from the same phone number as the one defined here. In other words, the remote user can only be calling from the telephone number defined here, otherwise the call will not be accepted. This function is disabled if the field is left blank.

•Call Back – This field determines whether the router calls back after receiving a call from this Remote Network Profile. If this option is enabled,
