Remote Node Configuration

A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the remote gateway and the network behind it across a WAN connection. Note that when you use Menu 4 to set up Internet access, you are actually configuring one the remote nodes. Once a remote node is configured correctly, traffic to the remote network will trigger your Prestige to make a call automatically, i.e., Dial On Demand.

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 5, for IPX, see Chapter 6 and for Bridging, see Chapter 7.

4.1Remote Node Setup

This section describes the protocol-independent parameters for a remote node.

4.1.1 Remote Node Profile

To configure a remote node, follow these steps:

Step 1. From the Main Menu, select menu option [11. Remote Node Setup]

Step 2. When Menu 11 appears, as shown in Figure 4-1, enter the number of the remote node that you wish to configure.
