Configuring ISDN and Leased Line Connections 2-29

Select Dial and set this connection profile to only make calls, only receive calls, or do both. Choose from In Only (receive calls), Out Only (make calls), or Dial In/Out (receive and make calls).

Select Number to Dial and enter the telephone number you

 

received from your ISP. This is the number the Netopia Router

 

dials to reach your ISP. Enter the number as you would dial it,

 

including any required prefixes (such as area, access, and

 

long-distance dialing codes).

 

If you selected IDSL (Pt-to-Pt) as your Netopia Router’s switch

 

type the connection profile’s number to dial will default to

 

555-4321. The same default information applies to this

 

number as the directory number, in order for the Netopia Router

 

to allow a connection to dial out.

 

Note: If you previously selected Permanent as your router’s

 

Circuit Type in the ISDN Easy Setup screen, Number to Dial will

 

not be an available option.

 

Select Alternate Number to Dial if your ISP requires that you

 

use a second telephone number to dial, or as an alternative

 

backup when the first channel is unavailable to use.

Available for outbound

Select Dial On Demand and toggle No if manual connections

calls only

are required for this profile. The default for Dial On Demand is

 

Yes, which is correct for most uses. When Dial On Demand is

 

set to Yes, the Netopia Router can automatically make calls as

 

the need arises, such as when a request to connect to a host

 

on the Internet is made by a computer on the local network.

 

Dial on demand also comes into action when IP and or IPX

 

traffic needs to go to a route defined by the profile attributes.

 

Every dial-on-demand profile becomes a part of the routing

 

table.

information.

 

Select Idle Timeout (seconds) and enter the time limit desired

 

before the Netopia Router drops a call if there is no activity on

 

the line. The default timeout setting is 300 seconds (5

 

minutes.)
