Using Office-to-Office Connections 15-7
Configuration Steps for an Office-to-Office Connection
Dial-Out Location Settings for London
You must create a location entry on the PortMaster Office Router in the London office
for the Paris office. This entry allows the Office Router in the London office to call the
PortMaster 2 in the Paris office when network traffic is queued. The new location paris
should be configured with the values shown in Table 17-5.
Note – Configuring the maximum ports setting to a value higher than 0 causes the
PortMaster to dial out to a continuous location, or become available for dial-out to an
on-demand location. By configuring the maximum ports setting last, you ensure that
the PortMaster will not attempt to make a connection with a location until you have
configured all the settings for that location.
