Configuring IP Interfaces to Dial Calls


Note -

If you configured your modems to accept incoming calls only (answer only), you cannot configure IP interfaces to dial calls.


  1. Indicate that you want to set up an IP interface to initiate calls to remote hosts.


    Do you want to use this interface to initiate
    calls to a remote host [y]? y
    
  2. Enter the name of the remote host you want to be able to call.

    The script displays a list of the remote hosts you defined earlier. Enter the name of one of these hosts.


    Remote host for this interface: odyssey
    
  3. Specify the timeout for calls to this remote host.

    By default, the connection will timeout after 120 seconds of inactivity.


    inactivity_timeout	[120]: 60
