Guidelines
When you configure the LAN Connection Table Record, use the following
guidelines:
• The Bridge Link Number must reference a configured Bridge Link.
• If an Autocall Mnemonic is specified, then the entry must exist in the
Mnemonic Table.
• If Billing Records are ON, then a Billing Printer Mnemonic must be specified
in the Mnemonic Table.
• If a LAN Connection is to receive calls, there must be an LCON entry in the
Routing Table.

The LAN Forwarder Type that you select determines the parameters that appear on
