CHAPTER 40
Remote Node Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure a remote node.
40.1 Introduction to Remote Node Setup
A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents
both the remote 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 a remote node. The
following describes how to configure Menu 11.x (where x is 1 or 2) - Remote Node Profile,
Menu 11.x.2 - Remote Node Network Layer Options and Menu 11.x.4 - Remote Node
Filter.
40.2 Remote Node Setup
From the main menu, select menu option 11 to open Menu 11 - Remote Node Setup (shown
below).
On a ZyWALL with multiple WAN ports, enter 1 or 2 to open Menu 11.x - Remote Node
Profile and configure the setup for your first or second WAN port. Enter 3 to open Menu 11.3
Remote Node Profile (Backup ISP) and configure the setup for your Dial Backup port
connection (see
Chapter 34 on page 510).
On a ZyWALL with a single WAN port, enter 1 to open Menu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile
and configure the setup for your WAN port. Enter 2 to open Menu 11.2 Remote Node Profile
(Backup ISP) and configure the setup for your Dial Backup port connection.
