remote setprefer
Changes the interface for the remote entry. Normally, a new remote profile defaults to
the type of the WAN port present in the router: FR for Frame-Relay WANs (IDSL and
some SDSL routers) or HSD for all ATM routers.
Use this command when defining the remote profile for Dial Backup. Dial Backup
uses the console port as a serial port connected to an asynchronous modem; its
interface must be asynchronous (see Specifying the dial backup parameters).
To see the current setting for a remote profile, use the
remote list
command and
check the Interface in use line. Changing the interface preference changes the lines
presented in the display; phone numbers are displayed only for asynchronous. See
the example below.

The information displayed by a remote list command changes depending on the
interface preference. The following example shows how the information displayed
changes from asynchronous to frame relay:
async
Asynchronous. This preference allows you to specify phone num-
bers and bit rates in the remote profile.
fr
Frame Relay
hsd
High-Speed Data. Use this option for ATM virtual circuits; in this
case, phone numbers take the form <VPI>*<VCI>.
