Remote Node Configuration

In this chapter, we 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.

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 of the remote nodes.
