Programming Operations Guide
ISDN dial up
Business Communications Manager supports ISDN dial up for dial-on-demand WAN access. You
have the choice to use ISDN BRI/PRI as a persistent or dial-on-demand WAN connection or as a
backup for your permanent WAN connection.
The information in this section includes:
• “Creating an ISDN dial up interface”
• “Configuring an ISDN interface”
• “Configuring the ISDN channel characteristics”
• “Deleting an ISDN interface”
Creating an ISDN dial up interface
1 On the navigation tree, click the Resources key, and click the Dial Up key.
2 Click the ISDN heading.
3 Click the Add button.
Or, right click the ISDN heading and click Add .
The Add ISDN dialog box appears.
4 In the (Dial In) Name box, type the name of the interface you are creating.
This is the name a dial in user must enter to access this interface.
5 In the Password box, type a password.
This is the password a dial in user must enter to access this interface.
Tips
To use an ISDN dial-up connection, you must first configure your system for ISDN. For
more information, refer to
Appendix C, “ISDN overview,” on page 857 . If your system is
already configured to support ISDN, make sure you configure a Data Module for ISDN
dial up connection. For more information, see
“Configuring a data module” on page 190 .
After you have created an ISDN dial up interface, you must use “Configuring Net Link
Manager” on page 733 to select which type of network connection the system must use for
primary and backup connection.
Caution:
If you are creating an ISDN interface to use as a backup for a permanent WAN connection,
the
(Dial In) Name must contain the string “backup”. For example, “ISDNbackup” is a
valid name if you want to use an ISDN connection as a WAN backup connection.
Note:
The password you choose must conform to the password policy used for your
Business Communications Manager system. For more information about the password
policy, refer to
“Setting password policy” on page 134 .
