Remote Node Configuration for LAN-to-LAN

A Remote Node represents both a remote gateway and the internet behind it, across a WAN connection. A Remote Node is required for placing calls to or answering calls from a remote network. Note that when you use Menu 4 to configure the Internet, your Prestige will automatically add a Remote Node for you. Once a Remote Node is configured properly, traffic to the remote LAN will trigger your Prestige to make a call automatically (i.e., Dial On Demand). Similarly, calls from the remote LAN will be answered automatically and security will be checked.

In this chapter, we will discuss the parameters that are protocol independent. The protocol- dependent configuration will be covered in subsequent chapters. For TCP/IP, see Chapter 6. For IPX, see Chapter 7. For Bridging, see Chapter 8.

5.1Remote Node Setup

This section describes the configuration of protocol-independent parameters for the Remote Node.

5.1.1 Remote Node Profile
