Description

 

 

Pri(mary) Phone

Both the Primary and Secondary Phone numbers refer to the number that the

Number and

 

router dials to connect to the remote node. The router calls the remote node using

Sec(ondary)

 

the Primary Phone number first. If the Primary Phone number is busy or does not

Phone Number

answer, the router calls the Secondary Phone number if available. Note that the

 

 

secondary number is not necessarily the number your router will dial to add

 

 

additional bandwidth for a Multilink call. If the called router supports BACP, that

 

 

router will provide the dial number for a second call. In North America, NETGEAR

 

 

recommends that you enter 1 and the area code with the number, even if it is a

 

 

local call. Otherwise, in some areas, the call is placed as a 56K call.

Rem IP Addr

This field is required on all remote nodes except the ISP node. Enter the IP address

Transfer Rate

When establishing a call in North America, your router specifies a data rate and the

 

type of call based on this field. Three options are available for this field:

 

• 64K—The router places a 64 Kbps (kilobits per second) digital data call (default).

 

• 56K—The router places a 56 Kbps digital data call.

 

• DOVBS—The router places a 56 Kbps data over voice bearer service (DOVBS)

 

call. Some phone companies in North America charge less if calls are made

 

using DOVBS.

Budget (min)

this field is 0 for no budget control.
