Efficient Networks 107-0001-000 manual Remote setprefer async fr hsd remotename, Frame Relay

Chapter 6: Remote Commands	Efficient Networks® Router family
	Command Line Interface Guide

remote setprefer

Changes the interface for the remote entry. Normally, a new remote profile defaults to the type of the WAN port present in the router: FR for Frame-Relay WANs (IDSL and some SDSL routers) or HSD for all ATM routers.

Use this command when defining the remote profile for Dial Backup. Dial Backup uses the console port as a serial port connected to an asynchronous modem; its interface must be asynchronous (see Specifying the dial backup parameters).

To see the current setting for a remote profile, use the remote list command and check the Interface in use line. Changing the interface preference changes the lines presented in the display; phone numbers are displayed only for asynchronous. See the example below.

Parameters

async	Asynchronous. This preference allows you to specify phone num-

	case, phone numbers take the form <VPI>*<VCI>.

<remotename>a Name of the remote router.

Example

The information displayed by a remote list command changes depending on the interface preference. The following example shows how the information displayed changes from asynchronous to frame relay:
