Table 5-7. Remote Node menu tab fields
Field Description
Active This field enables connection with the remote node. When a remote node is
deactivated, it has no effect on the operation of the router, even though it is still
kept in the database and can be activated in the future.
Path Name This field is a descriptive name of up to eight characters for identification only.
Remote IP Address Enter the IP address of the remote node.
Call Direction If this parameter is set to Both, the router can both place and receive calls to and
from this remote node. If set to Incoming, the router will not place a call to this
remote node. If set to Outgoing, the router accepts any call from this remote
node. In order to enable Callback, the Call Direction must be set to Both.
Incoming: This parameter group controls access on incoming calls from this remote node.
This group is used only if Call Direction is set to Incoming or Both.
Login Name In this field, enter the Login Name that this remote node uses when it calls your
router. The Login Name in this field combined with the Login Password is used
to authenticate the incoming calls from this node.
Login Password In this field, enter the Password used when this remote node calls your router.
CLID Number In this field, enter the telephone number of the remote node. If you have selected
the CLID Enable field in the Dial-in menu tab, the router checks this number
against the CLID presented with the incoming call. If the incoming caller’s
number does not match, the router rejects the call. This field is active only if Call
Direction is set to either Both or Incoming. You must request CLID from the
telephone company for your ISDN line in order for this feature to work.
Callback This field determines whether or not you want the router to call back after
receiving a call from this remote node. If the Callback option is enabled, the
router disconnects the initial call from this remote node and calls it back at the
Outgoing Primary Dial Number (see below). The Callback field is valid only if Call
Direction is set to Both.
