WAN PEER TYPE
Specifies an active WAN peer (receives and sends information at all times) or a passive WAN peer
(receives/sends information only when a connection is up). In order for an active peer type to work
properly, the Make Calls field must also be enabled.
S
POOFING OPTIONS
Spoofing allows you to prohibit excessive ISDN connections by internally generating a desired
response packet when a request packet is received that should be routed over the WAN and there
is no connection up to the remote device. Refer to IPX Spoofing for a description of available options.
A
PPLETALK INFORMATION CONFIGURATION ELEMENTS
APPLETALK ADDRESS
The AppleTalk address of this device (remote device).
If the device communicates using a numbered point-to-point link, then the address must belong to
an AppleTalk network to which one of our WAN ports connects.
If the device communicates using an unnumbered point-to-point link, the WAN UnNumbered
port must be configured and the address must be 0.0.
If the device is over a MAC dial-in port, no AppleTalk address needs to be entered. The device is
assigned a random AppleTalk address within the specifications of the MAC dial-in port
configuration each time it connects. However, if you choose to provide an AppleTalk address for
the device, this address will be assigned to the MAC dial-in port device each time it connects.
E
NABLE/DISABLE APPLETALK ROUTING
This parameter indicates whether the remote device routes AppleTalk datagrams or not. When
enabled, it indicates that the remote device will route AppleTalk datagrams. When disabled, it
indicates that the remote device will bridge AppleTalk datagrams. Note that it requires AppleTalk
RLAN feature to handle bridged AppleTalk datagrams, and therefore until AppleTalk RLAN is
implemented, AppleTalk routing can not be used with remote devices that do not route AppleTalk.
E
NABLE/DISABLE MAKE CALLS FOR APPLETALK DATA
Indicates whether AppleTalk dial out to this device is allowed or not.
A
PPLETALK ROUTING PROTOCOL
Specifies what routing protocol the system should use with this remote device. Since RTMP
periodically sends out routing updates, RTMP should be chosen only when the remote device is
connected over the WAN links whose cost is not a major concern, such as dedicated links. The
default value is None.
