Default Answer Profile for Dial-in Connections

The Netopia R9100 Ethernet Router can answer calls on the Auxiliary port. To answer calls, the Netopia R9100 uses a Default Answer Profile. The Default Answer Profile controls how incoming calls are set up, authenticated, filtered, and more.

How the Default Answer Profile works

The Default Answer Profile works like a guard booth at the gate to your network: it scrutinizes incoming calls. Like the guard booth, the Default Answer Profile allows calls based on a set of criteria that you define.

The main criterion used to check calls is whether they match one of the Connection Profiles already defined. The default profile checks that the incoming call’s name and password match the receive name and password of a Connection Profile.

If an incoming call is matched to an existing Connection Profile, the call is accepted. All of that Connection Profile’s parameters, except for authentication, are adopted for the call.

You could set up the Default Answer Profile to allow calls in even if they fail to match a Connection Profile. Continuing the guard booth analogy, this would be like removing the guards or having them wave all calls in, regardless of their source.
