Remote Node Configuration for LAN-to-LAN
A Remote Node represents both a remote gateway and the internet behind it, across a WAN
connection. A Remote Node is required for placing calls to or answering calls from a remote
network. Note that when you use Menu 4 to configure the Internet, your Prestige will
automatically add a Remote Node for you. Once a Remote Node is configured properly, traffic to
the remote LAN will trigger your Prestige to make a call automatically (i.e., Dial On Demand).
Similarly, calls from the remote LAN will be answered automatically and security will be
checked.
In this chapter, we will discuss the parameters that are protocol independent. The protocol-
dependent configuration will be covered in subsequent chapters. For TCP/IP, see Chapter 6. For
IPX, see Chapter 7. For Bridging, see Chapter 8.
5.1 Remote Node Setup
This section describes the configuration of protocol-independent parameters for the Remote
Node.
5.1.1 Remote Node Profile
To configure the Remote Node parameters, follow these steps:
Step 1. From the Main Menu, select menu option [11. Remote Node Setup]
Step 2. When Menu 11 appears, as shown in Figure 5-1, enter the number of the Remote Node
(1-4) that you wish to configure.
