D-Link DI-304M manual Common Settings, Dial-Out Settings, Dial-In Settings

DI-304/DI-304M ISDN Remote Router

Each LAN-to-LAN profile includes 4 subgroups: Common Settings, Dial-Out Settings, Dial-In Settings, and TCP/IP Network Settings. The following will explain every subgroup in detail.

Common Settings

♦Profile Name – Specify a name for the remote network.

♦Enable this profile – Check here to activate this profile.

♦Call Direction – Specify the allowed call direction for this profile.

◊Both - allow access of both outgoing and incoming calls.

◊Dial-Out - allow access of outgoing calls only.

◊Dial-In - allow access of incoming calls only.

♦Idle Timeout – Default setting is 300 seconds. When a connection of a profile has been idled longer than the time limit, the router will drop the connection.

Dial-Out Settings

♦Username – Specify a username for authentication by the remote router.

♦Password – Specify a password for authentication by the remote router.

♦Dial Number – Specify the destination ISDN number for dialup.

♦Scheduler (1-15) – Enter up to 4 index numbers for calls that have been previously configured on the Call Schedule Setup windows (under Advanced Setup).

♦Link Type – Indicate the dial-out link type.

◊Disable: Deactivate the dial-out action.

◊64kbps: Specify the outgoing connection speed is restricted to 64kbps (one B-channel).

◊128k bps: Specify the outgoing connection speed is 128kbps (two B-channels).

◊BOD: Specify the link type to be dynamic bandwidth control (Bandwidth-on-Demand).

♦PPP Authentication – Specify the authentication method. Normally set to PAP/CHAP for the widest compatibility.

♦VJ Compression – VJ Compression means TCP/IP protocol header compression. Normally set to "On" to improve band-width utilization.

♦Callback Function (CBCP) – The callback function is implemented by the CBCP protocol that is one of the PPP protocol suite.

◊Require Remote to Callback - Inactive by default. When active, the router exchanges connection information with the remote router and requires the remote router to call back to make a connection.

◊Provide ISDN Number to Remote - In some cases, the remote router requires the ISDN number for calling back. Check here to allow the local router to send the ISDN number to the remote router. The remote router owner will be charged the connection fee by the telecom.

Dial-In Settings

♦Username – Specify an username to authenticate the dial-in router.

♦Password – Specify a password to authenticate the dial-in router.
