Notes:
Before beginning,
be sure your system’s resources are properly configured. This includes
resources, lines, and datalinks, if applicable. Refer to the
Configuring Resources and Lines
chapter.
In order to successfully dial out to a device on the CyberSWITCH’s Known Connect List,
you must have the device information properly set up and the dial-out number(s)
stipulated. Refer to the
On-node Device Database
section found in the Configuring Device Level
Databases chapter.
The dial out call must be made within a configured amount of time from its last connection.
This time is configurable through the Bridge Configuration menu’s Spanning Tree
Parameters. The parameter for configuring the time is called the bridge age time. The
default bridge age time is 5 minutes. Refer to
page 266
for instructions on changing the
default value.
