Configuring the WAN Call Directory

The WAN Call Directory is a list of WAN Call Destination configurations you want to use for each virtual circuit. You must create at least one WAN Call Destination configuration for each desired destination. WAN Call Destination configurations contain parameters to be applied by Emulex X.25 software when establishing and maintaining calls to the destination.

Two basic types of call configurations are possible: permanent and on- demand. If the connection fails, attempts to reconnect are tried at periodic intervals. This type of connection is suited for use with dynamic routing protocols like RIP or NetWare Link Services Protocol (NLSP) software.

On-demand calls specify that the connection should be established only when needed. Maintenance data such as routing updates is suppressed. These types of connections are terminated whenever the link is void of network data longer than the configured Idle Line Time-out value. A connection failure is retried only when more network data is directed to the remote destination.

To configure WAN Call Destinations for X.25 interfaces, perform the following steps:

1)From the Internetworking Configuration menu, select WAN Call Directory, and press <Enter>
