39 NT/MPRI – 3 Configuration and Operation of the NT/MPRI: The Basics
3.4 Links from Microsoft Networks
As a router the NT/MPRI works independently of the network operating
system present in its environment. Only a few NT/MPRI settings con-
cern Microsoft networks directly.
The Microsoft network uses the protocol NetBIOS over IP. This protocol
constitutes the foundation for “shares”, or the use of remote drives or
network services.
Make the following settings in both LANs:
l Enable “NetBIOS over IP” as a network protocol.
l Configure the local and remote LANs as separate domains. Each
domain should have the other entered as a “trusted domain”.
l Use WINS for NetBIOS name resolution by installing a WINS server
in each LAN. At each site, enter the remote LAN’s WINS server for
replication and set the replication interval to a high value to save
ISDN costs. Finally, enter the local WINS server in each worksta-
tion’s network settings.
l On the NT/MPRI in each LAN, perform the following steps:
– Create a new IP call destination.
– Go to the IP settings of the call destination (“IP” button) and
activate “NetBIOS Spoofing”. At the same time, deactivate the
“NetBIOS Filter”.
– Check whether IP routing via ISDN functions correctly, e.g. with
“Ping”.
