Chapter 4
Remote Node Configuration
A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both
the gateway and the network behind it across a WAN connection. Note that when you use Menu
4 to set up Internet access, you are actually configuring one of the remote nodes. Once a remote
node is configured correctly, traffic to the remote network will trigger your Prestige to make a call
automatically, i.e., Dial On Demand.
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 5, for
IPX, see Chapter 6. For Bridging, see Chapter 7.
4.1 Remote Node Setup
This section describes the protocol-independent parameters for a remote node.
4.1.1 Remote Node Profile
To configure a remote node, 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 4-1, enter the number of the remote node
that you wish to configure.
