Configuring a Point-to-Point Node

Phone Number

Required if the link is a dial link. The field must be blank if the target node is non-adjacent. Enter the telephone number as a combination of decimal numbers (0 through 9), dashes, and the following special characters:

/

Separator used for automatic call units

 

that have second dial-tone detect.

E

Optional end-of-number indicator.

D

Three-second delay (used for European

 

modems and automatic call units that

 

require built-in delays).

#

*

Defined by local phone system.

To disable outbound dialing, enter an exclamation point (!) by itself in the phone number field.

Each router NI can have up to 1024 mappings. However, 4096 is the absolute maximum number of unique phone numbers supported per NMCONFIG File.

Security String

An optional security string that remote nodes must use to gain dial link access to the node. It can be up to eight alphanumeric characters, left justified, with no embedded blanks. The first character must be alphabetic.

Disable Route

Y (yes) or N (no) indicator that allows you to temporarily disable a configured route. Leave the default (N) alone if you do not want to disable the route.
