Quick Configuration
This section describes how you can configure the unit to bridge or route
over ISDN links to suit most networking requirements using a simple
forms-based user interface. If you want to connect to a remote site using
leased line WAN links see
“Setting Up a WAN Link”
on
page 1-39
.
If you are unsure about the networking configuration you require, see
“Examples of Typical ISDN Networking Applications”
on
page 1-41
for
more information.
IMPORTANT
The Quick Configuration menu option is designed to be used
only when you set up the unit for the first time. If you want to make any
changes to the unit’s configuration at a later stage, use the management
system menus to make these changes. For more information, see the
AccessBuilder ISDN Access Router Software Reference
guide
.
