Configuring WAN Connections
The Answer profile
Pipeline User’s Guide Preliminary January 30, 1998 1-7
The Answer profile
Answer profiles contain parameters to build connections for incoming callers.
Before the Pipeline answers an incoming call, it checks the settings in its
Ethernet > Answer profile for information about what to do. If the call does not
include the information required by the Answer profile, the Pipeline hangs up.
If the call includes the required information, the Pipeline looks for a matching
Connection profile. If it finds one, it uses information in the Connection profile to
set up the call. If a match is not found, the Answer profile specifies how to build
the connection.
Note:
The parameter Ethernet > Answer > Profile Reqd must be set to No to
build a connection for a call that does not have a matching Connection profile.
To set up a basic Answer profile:
1
Open the Ethernet > Answer profile. The following menu is an example:
Force 56=No
Profile Reqd=No
Id Auth=Ignore
MS-Stac For PPP-encapsulated calls. MS-Stac refers to Microsoft LZS
Coherency compression for Windows 95. This is a proprietary
compression scheme for Windows 95 (not Windows NT).
If the caller requests MS-Stac and the matching profile does
not specify MS-Stac compression, the connection appears to
come up correctly but no data is routed. If the profile is
configured with MS-Stac and the caller does not acknowledge
that compression scheme, the Pipeline attempts to use
standard Stac compression, and if that doesn’t work, it uses no
compression.
VJ Comp For TCP/IP connections. VJ Comp applies only to packets in
TCP applications, such as Telnet. When you turn it on, the
Pipeline applies TCP/IP header compression for both ends of
the link.
