Phone
Numbers
Both the Primary Phone number and the Secondary
Phone number refer to the number that your Prestige will
dial to connect to the Remote Node. Your Prestige will
always call the Remote Node using the Primary Phone
number first.
If the Primary Phone number is busy or does not answer,
your Prestige will call the Secondary Phone number if
available. Once connected, your Prestige will use the
BACP (Bandwidth Allocation Control Protocol) to
establish the second B-channel if Multilink PPP is
enabled, and the Remote Node supports MP and BACP.
Some areas require dialing the pound sign # before the
phone number for local calls. A # symbol may be
included at the beginning of the Primary Phone number
or Secondary Phone number as required.
Device Type Use the space bar to choose the following selections:
Modem / ISDN TA / X.25 PAD / 56K Modem.
A Remote Node only picks up a free device of the
selected Device Type to dial out. Only the devices of the
same device type will be bundled.
[Modem]
[ISDN TA]
[X25 PAD]
[56K Modem]
Route This fields determines the protocols that your Prestige
will route. The choices for this field are determined by
the features enabled on your Prestige.
Bridge Bridging is used for protocols that are not supported or
not turned on in the previous Route field by your
Prestige, for example, SNA. When bridging is enabled,
your Prestige will forward any packet that it does not
recognize to this Remote Node; otherwise, the
unrecognized packets are discarded.
The disadvantage of bridging is that it usually generates
large amounts of traffic.
