Remote ISDN Number

Type the ISDN number of the remote unit that

connects to the Novell network.

Call Type

Set the Call Type required for your ISDN line. Toggle this field

to the Call Type required by your ISDN service provider.

Press [CTRL]+[E] to submit this information.

When you do this, the unit automatically makes a short call to the

remote unit to interrogate the remote network for information about

its servers. When it has obtained the information it needs the call is

automatically disconnected. The unit then updates the autocall table so

that when data is destined for a remote server, the unit automatically

dials the correct ISDN number and connects to the remote network.

Enter

SAVE

at the command prompt to permanently store this

configuration in the unit’s memory.
