Using V.34

4.Con®gure the dial circuit to initiate outbound calls only, accept inbound calls only, or both initiate and accept calls.

Use the set calls command. To avoid a con¯ict if both ends of the link attempt to establish a call at the same time, con®gure the dial circuit at one end of the link to accept inbound calls only, and con®gure the dial circuit at the other end of the link to initiate outbound calls only. For example:

Circuit Config>set calls outbound

Circuit Config>set calls inbound

Note: For WAN Restoral operations or another dial-on-demand application, you should set up the circuit for either inbound or outbound calls.

5.Specify the timeout period for the circuit.

Use the set idle command. If there is no traffic over the circuit for this speci®ed time period, the dial circuit hangs up. To con®gure the circuit as a dedicated circuit, set the idle timer to zero. To con®gure the circuit to dial on demand, set the idle timer to a value other than zero. The range is 0 to 65535 and the default is 60 seconds. For example:

Circuit Config>set idle

Idle timer (seconds, 0 means always active) [60]? 0

Note: For WAN Restoral operations you must set the idle time to 0.

6.Optionally, you can delay the time between when a call is established and the initial packet is sent.

Use the set selftest-delaycommand. Setting a self-test delay can prevent initial packets from being dropped. If your modems take extra time to synchronize, adjust this delay. For example:

Circuit Config>set selftest-delay

Selftest delay(milli-seconds,0 means no delay)[150]?200

7. Set the inbound address name.

Use the set inbound command. You need to use this command only if you set up the circuit for both inbound and outbound calls and if the router's destination address is different from the destination address that the remote router dials.

For example, the numbers would be different if one of the routers must go through a PBX, international, or inter-LATA exchange. For example:

Circuit Config>set inbound

Assign destination inbound address name []? newyork

The inbound address name must match one of the names that you de®ned using the add v34-addresscommand.

8.Optionally, you can enter the con®guration process for the datalink layer protocol that is running on the dial circuit (PPP or Frame Relay). Use the encapsulator command. For example:

Circuit Config>encapsulator
