Menu 11.1 Remote Node Profile Fields

 

 

 

Field

 

Description

 

 

Rem Node Name

This field is required. Enter a descriptive name for the remote node (for example,

 

 

MyOffice). This field supports up to eight characters. This name must be unique

 

 

from any other remote node name or remote dial-in user name.

 

 

 

Active

 

Press the space bar to toggle between Yes and No. When a remote node is

 

 

deactivated, it has no effect on the operation of the router, even though it is still kept

 

 

in the database and can be activated in the future. Deactivated nodes are displayed

 

 

with a minus sign (-) preceding the name in Menu 11.

 

 

 

Call Direction

 

If this parameter is set to Both, the router can place and receive calls to and from

 

 

this remote node. If set to Incoming, the router does not place a call to this remote

 

 

node. If set to Outgoing, the router will drop any call from this remote node.

 

 

Several other fields in this menu depend on this parameter. For example, in order

 

 

to enable Call Back, the Call Direction must be Both.

 

 

 

 

Incoming:

 

 

 

Rem Login

 

Enter the login name that this remote node will use when it calls into the router.

Name

 

 

 

Rem Password

Enter the password used when this remote node calls into the router.

Rem CLID

 

This field is active only if Call Direction is either Both or Incoming. Otherwise, N/A

 

 

appears in the field. This is the Calling Line ID (the telephone number of the calling

 

 

party) of this remote node. If you enable the CLID Authen field in Menu 13 - Default

 

 

Dial In, the router checks this number against the CLID in the incoming call. If they

 

 

do not match and the CLID Authen is Required, the router rejects the call.

Call Back

 

This field is valid only if Call Direction is Both. Otherwise, N/A appears in the field.

 

 

This field determines whether or not you want the router to call back after receiving

 

 

a call from this remote node. If this option is enabled, the router disconnects the

 

 

initial call from this node and calls the node back at the Outgoing Primary Phone

 

 

Number.

 

 

 

 

Outgoing:

 

 

 

My Login Name

This is a required field if Call Direction is either Both or Out. Enter the login name

 

 

your router uses when it calls this remote node.

My Password

 

This is a required field if Call Direction is either Both or Out. Enter the password

 

 

your router uses when it calls this remote node.

Authen

 

This field sets the authentication protocol used for outgoing calls. Options for this

 

 

field are:

 

 

• CHAP/PAP—Router will try CHAP when CHAP is requested by the remote node

 

 

or PAP when PAP is requested by the remote node (Default).

 

 

• PAP—Use PAP only.

 

 

• CHAP—Use CHAP only.
