Remote Node Configuration 5-1

Chapter 5

Remote Node Conﬁguration

This chapter discusses the protocol-independent parameters used to conﬁgure a remote node. The

protocol-dependent (TCP/IP) conﬁguration is covered in a later chapter.

A remote node represents both a remote gateway and the network behind it, across an ISDN

connection. A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote network or answering calls

from a remote network. When you use Menu 4 to conﬁgure your router for Internet access, the

router automatically adds a remote node for you because the ISP falls outside the normal criteria

that deﬁne a remote node.

When a remote node is conﬁgured properly, trafﬁc to the remote LAN triggers the router to make a

call automatically (Dial On Demand). Similarly, calls from the remote LAN are answered

automatically and security is checked.

To create a remote node:

Enter 11 from the Main Menu to display Menu 11 - Remote Node Setup.

Enter a remote node number (1 to 4) to edit the remote node and to display Submenu

11.1 - Remote Node Proﬁle.

Press [Enter] at the Press ENTER to Conﬁrm... prompt to conﬁrm your selections.

Press [Esc] at any time to cancel your selections.

Table 5-1 lists and describes the ﬁelds in the Remote Node Proﬁle menu and explains how to enter

the information in each ﬁeld.

Note:

If you access only one remote node (not an ISP), create that remote node using

Menu 4 and then edit it with Menu 11. Creating the remote node using Menu 4 and

editing it with Menu 11 makes the remote node the default static route.
