11. Enter the
IP address
and
Netmask
parameters of the access server at the
remote site. This creates a static route to the access server’s network which
is entered into the Express XL/XLT’s IP route table.
12. Move the cursor over the
RIP
menu. Check with the network administra-
tor for the type of routing protocol used. The Express XL/XLT supports
RIP versions 1 and 2. The protocol is set in the
Protoco
l parameter.
13. Select
Yes
for the
Triggered
parameter. This will prevent periodic RIP up-
dates that keep the ISDN link from going “idle.”
14. Select
Yes
for the
Retain
parameter. This will allow the routes learned
from the access server to be saved in the IP routing table. Access to any of
those networks from the workstation will cause this profile to be dialed.
15. Use the left arrow to get back to the previous menu. Use the down arrow
to view the
IPX
menu parameters in the right pane.
16. This is similar to steps 13 and 14. Select
Yes
for
Triggered
and
Yes
for
Re-
tain
. This will allow the ISDN link to go to an idle state and permit the
Express XL/XLT to “spoof” the server information obtained from the ac-
cess server. A similar configuration must be selected on the access server.
17. Use the arrows to get the
Dial Out
menu parameters for this profile.
18. Enter the phone number of the access server in
Number 1
. If configured
by the administrator to use two B-channels using Multilink PPP, set the
Initial Channels
field to
2
. Some PPP protocols, if they exist in the access
server, will allow the second channel to come into play only if the band-
width is needed. If this is the case, the Express XL/XLT will automatically
negotiate this with the access server.
19. Now move to the
Bandwidth
menu for this profile. Once there, use the
right arrow to move to the
On Demand
submenu.
20. Set the
Mode
parameter to
On
. This enables the dynamic bandwidth fea-
tures of the Express XL/XLT.
21. Select the
Idle Timeout
parameter and enter the number of seconds the
Express XL/XLT should wait before hanging up the connection when no
traffic is present. A value of 120 seconds is typical. A value of 0 means nev-
er idle the link.
22. All the parameters for this Connection List profile are complete. To save
them, press the left arrow to get to the top (main) menu; when prompted
Save Connection List changes?
enter
y
.
23. Set up the computer workstation’s IP and IPX parameters as instructed by
the network administrator. The Express XL/XLT’s IP address should be
the computer’s default gateway.
