Remote Node Configuration
This chapter discusses the
A remote node represents both a remote gateway and the network behind it, across an ISDN connection. A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote network or answering calls from a remote network. When you use Menu 4 to configure your router for Internet access, the router automatically adds a remote node for you because the ISP falls outside the normal criteria that define a remote node.
Note: If you access only one remote node (not an ISP), create that remote node using Menu 4 and then edit it with Menu 11. Creating the remote node using Menu 4 and editing it with Menu 11 makes the remote node the default static route.
When a remote node is configured properly, traffic to the remote LAN triggers the router to make a call automatically (Dial On Demand). Similarly, calls from the remote LAN are answered automatically and security is checked.
To create a remote node:
1.Enter 11 from the Main Menu to display Menu 11 - Remote Node Setup.
2.Enter a remote node number (1 to 4) to edit the remote node and to display Submenu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile.
3.Press [Enter] at the Press ENTER to Confirm... prompt to confirm your selections. Press [Esc] at any time to cancel your selections.
