Working with Dial
Number Lists
This section describes how to configure and customize your dial number
list for dial-up lines.
Adding a Phone
Number
To allow your bridge/router to dial out, configure the dial number list
using:
ADD !<portlist> -POrt DialNoList Ò<phone no>Ó [Baud = <1.2Ð16000>]
[Type = Modem | Bri | Sw56 | PPTP | Async ] [Pos = <1-xx>]
Enter this command for each phone number you want to add to the dial
list. If you do not specify a position, the number will be added to the end
of the list.
If you are using a dial pool, you may want to have several phone numbers
specifying different types (modem, BRI, or Switched 56) or baud rates so
if the first number fails on a 28.8 Kbps modem, for instance, the second
number is used for a 64 Kbps ISDN line.
Switched 56 operation is not supported on CSU/DSU ports. An external
switched 56 device needs to be connected to the serial ports to support
Switched 56 operation.
You can use hyphens (-) in your phone number. For ISDN, the phone
number includes a dial prefix, country code, and area code and possibly a
subaddress. If you specify a subaddress, you must separate the phone
number from the subaddress with a semicolon (;).
You can configure up to 16 phone numbers per port.
Redialing When the
Connection Fails
You can specify the number of times the software attempts to redial the
remote system if the call attempt fails using:
SETDefault !<port> -PORT DialRetryCount = <number> (0Ð255)
If the first dial attempt fails to bring the path up, the software tries the
call again using the same phone number. The call attempts continue until
the dial retry count is reached.
Dialing the Same
Phone Number
Multiple Times
You can configure the dial number list to dial the same number
repeatedly by adding multiple copies of the number. This step is
required so that you can use multilink PPP. Add a different letter after
each phone number to distinguish the duplicate entries by entering:
ADD !V1 -PORT DialNoList Ò123-4567Ó
