Remote Node Configuration

This chapter covers remote node configuration.

22.1 Introduction to Remote Node Setup

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 a remote node. The following describes how to configure Menu 11.1 Remote Node Profile, Menu 11.3 - Remote Node Network Layer Options, Menu 11.5 - Remote Node Filter and Menu 11.6 - Traffic Redirect Setup.

22.2 Remote Node Profile Setup

From the main menu, select menu option 11 to open Menu 11 Remote Node Profile (shown below).
