Configuring ISDN and Leased Line Connections

This chapter shows you how to configure the Netopia Router to make and receive network connections over an ISDN or leased line and how to control those connections. Topics include:

“ISDN WAN Setup” on page 2-2shows you how to configure your ISDN Netopia Router for outgoing calls.

“Leased line WAN Setup” on page 2-5 shows you how to configure your SA/Serial, DDS, or T1 Netopia Router for outgoing calls.

“Connection profiles for ISDN and Leased lines,” beginning on page 2-13, shows you how to configure connection profiles for your ISDN, SA/Serial, DDS, or T1 Netopia Router.

“Default profile,” beginning on page 2-39, shows you how to set up an answer profile for incoming calls.

“WAN IP Address Serving,” beginning on page 2-48, discusses how to configure the router to allocate an IP address to callers from an address pool.

“Scheduled connections,” beginning on page 2-49, shows you how to control the dates and times when connection profiles can be used.

“CSU Backup,” beginning on page 2-55, describes how to automatically switch from an internal CSU to the SA port during a leased line failure.

Note: Netopia Router models offering different feature sets will have variations in the fields on certain screens. For example, there are switched (dial-up) or permanent (nailed-up) circuit ISDN or leased line models, as well as models that offer feature subsets such as AppleTalk, SmartIP (Network Address Translation and WAN IP Address Serving) and SmartPhone (Plain Old Telephone Service). Your own Advanced Configuration screens may look different from those illustrated in this chapter.
