Remote Node Configuration

A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the 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 of 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. For Bridging, see Chapter 7.
