Ringdale ISDN Network Router User Manual

Call Type Setup
Due to the varieties and complexities of networks and applications,
it is the responsibility of the network administrator to determine the
cost of all line charges, or any other charges which may be
incurred, resulting from the use of the OverLAN Ethernet/ISDN
router. Such charges are not the responsibility of Ringdale.
Call Type Setup appears under the Setup Tab > Call Setup Tab for
the properties for a router.
Call Mode: Select from options for Call by Command, Call on
Demand, and Permanent Channels.
Select Call by Command Only when you want calls to be manually
placed. In this setup, the router cannot place calls automatically.
Select Call on Demand to have the router place calls automatically
when data is received for the remote network.
When one or both B-channels are selected as Permanent Channels,
then the selected channel(s) will remain open all of the time. If an
error causes a disconnection, the router will automatically redial
the number and raise the line up again.
On Demand Call Timeout: Type a number representing the time
(in seconds) the selected router will keep a line up when there is no
activity while in Call on Demand mode. A value of 0 will be
interpreted as infinity, which means a call will never timeout. You
should determine the line charges in order to optimize On Demand
Call Timeout.
Allow Broadcasts to open an On Demand Channel: Enabling
this option allows On Demand Channels to be activated
automatically whenever general network broadcasts are received
by the router.
