2-2 — Orbitor 3000 Reference Manual
Auto-Call (Time-of-Day Connections)
An Auto-Call connection is an ISDN connection that is established each time the Orbitor attempts to start
the link. This starting of the links occurs each time an Orbitor powers up or the link goes through a restart.
An Auto-Call connection would be used for a static WAN configuration that needs to be maintained at all
times between sites.
Figure 2—1 Auto-Call WAN Topology
The semi-permanent connection that results from an Auto-Call configuration means that the Orbitor will
attempt to maintain a connection to the partner Orbitor during the times specified in the Time-of-Day
Schedule. When Connection Management is enabled, the ISDN call to the Auto-Call number may be
suspended during periods of inactivity.
