Reference Guide for the Model RT210/RT211 ISDN Routers

3-12 Configuring the Router

To ensure that the router knows that routes are learned over an ISDN path, you must enter an ISDN

number in the conﬁguration path. Any routes learned through this path are displayed with an I after

the routing protocol R (RIP) in the routing table display.

To connect to a router using PPP, you must ﬁrst conﬁgure a PPP path.

Conﬁguring a PPP Path

To conﬁgure a PPP path, follow these steps:

1. Enter CO PA to display the Conﬁgure Paths menu.

2. Enter ADD to add a PPP path.

3. Enter the name of the remote router in the Name ﬁeld.

This must match the User ID that is supplied by the remote router if calls are to be made to

your router using authentication.

4. Tab to select the ISDN1 ﬁeld and enter the ISDN phone number of the remote router.

If the connection is on a 56 KBps line, enter the # symbol before the ISDN number.

5. Tab to select the PPP Prof ﬁeld and press the space bar until you have selected the

appropriate authentication option.

For further information on authentication and the option that you need, refer to the tables in

Appendix E, “PPP Authentication Proﬁles.”

• If using PAP authentication, select the PPP OutgoingPW ﬁeld and enter the password to

be used when calling the remote router.

• If using PAP authentication, select the PPP incoming PW ﬁeld and enter the password to

be used by the remote router when calling your router.

• If using CHAP authentication, select the PPP Secret ﬁeld and enter the password to be

used when connecting to the remote router.

6. Enter the IP address in the IP ADDR&MASK ﬁeld only if the link is to be numbered.

The path operates as unnumbered with the IP ADDR&MASK left at its default value (0.0.0.0),

and no identifying network addresses are negotiated when the link is set up. Any IP data

packets have the LAN01 IP address as their source address. Any other value entered in the

ﬁeld are sent during link establishment to negotiate a numbered link except for a Single Host

Address. For more information on a Single Host Address, refer to “Operating with a Single IP

Address” on page 3-14.
