Table 7-11 Information for Remote Host Connection
Option |
Description |
---|---|
Remote Host Address |
The host address of the peer side of the ISDN point-to-point link. |
Local Host Address |
The host address of the local side of the ISDN point-to-point link. Setting this field to the keyword "dynamic" turns on the negotiate address feature |
Netmask |
The number that masks the host component of a host address and thus shows how to divide the network component of the host address into subnetworks. |
Inactivity Timeout |
The number of minutes an ISDN connection is allowed to idle before it is disconnected. |
Host Setup Timeout |
The number of minutes allowed before an ISDN connection request ceases its attempt to connect to the remote system. |
Default Route |
The route entry that allows connections to unspecified hosts to go through this connection. The default route is created when the connection is made with the remote system; it is deleted when that connection is terminated or timed out. Choose On, or Off. |
Bandwidth Controller |
The side of the connection that is controlling the number of ISDN links used on the connection. Only one side can be on at a time. Choose On, or Off. |
Encapsulation |
The encapsulation protocol used in data transfers. For multilink PPP (MP), the control protocol may or may not be encapsulated. Ascend boxes require control encapsulation, others typically do not. Choose PPP, MP-Ascend, or MP-Other. |
Data Compression |
Turn data compression on. Note: Encapsulation must be set to one of the MP options. |
Local Authentication |
The authentication mechanism used by the Netra to authenticate incoming calls. Chap Authentication Protocol (CHAP) uses encryption-based password control. Password Authentication (PAP) is similar to CHAP. Choose chap, pap, or off. |
Remote Authentication |
The authentication protocol that is used with remote systems. Choose chap, pap, or both. |
ID String |
The login string used by the authentication protocol. |
Password |
The password string used by the authentication protocol. |
Caller ID |
If the incoming call presents its caller ID number, this number is used to find an isdn_path for the incoming call. Choose On, or Off. |
Channel Baud Rate |
The B-channel baud rate. Choose data56, or data64. |
Hunt Mode |
Sequentially dial through the phone numbers listed for a remote host, until a connection is made or until the list is exhausted. |
Phone Number 1 |
The phone number to dial to reach the system at the other end of the ISDN connection. Example 17005554141. |
Phone Number 2 |
An alternate phone number to dial to reach the system at the other end of the ISDN connection. This phone number need only be entered if supplied by the remote system. |
