nwci2.1.book Seite 35 Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2000 11:36 11 Remote Node Service for ISDN 4.2 Remote Node Service for ISDN Unlike CCS, RNSI is a server-based “listening” application that answers dialin connections from outside the LAN. This means that RNSI must be configured on the server. The server module NWCCON includes an RNSI configuration menu for this purpose under “Configure Services”. A number of options are available to ensure LAN access security and stable connections.

nwci2.1.book Seite 38 Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2000 11:36 11 Network Protocol Configuration Network Protocol Configuration Both IPX and TCP/IP connections to the LAN can be made through RNSI. The link between the client and RNSI is treated as a separate network segment, and is configured in the RNSI settings under ”General Parameters”. The following illustration shows a sample configuration with IP addresses. 192.168.120.4 .. ...... .. .. .. ...... .. .. ..... RNSI .. .. . ...... RNSI .. .. LAN .. .
nwci2.1.book Seite 39 Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2000 11:36 11 Charge Control First, check which functions are supported by your client software. Both ends of the connection must support recall requests or COSO in order for you to use these capabilities. All current Windows versions of NetWAYS/ISDN support both of these functions. Recall Request When the recall request is activated, the client’s ISDN line is charged only for the initial call to the LAN.
nwci2.1.book Seite 40 Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2000 11:36 11 Charge Control Call Acceptance Every client that dials in through an ISDN-Controller for which recall request is “enabled” can reverse the charges so that the server is charged for the connection. In this case it is a good idea to restrict RNSI access to authorized clients: load nwccon Configure Services RNSI Parameters for ISDN-Controller NWCI Expert Configuration: (view or modify) Call Acceptance = Only Registered Numbers: ...
nwci2.1.book Seite 41 Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2000 11:36 11 Charge Control COSO: Charge One Site Only When this option is activated, one site, either the server or the client, is charged for all physical connections. The following configuration example shows the settings for assigning all charges to the server. To assign charges to the client, “local” and “remote” must be exchanged. COSO is activated for the entire RNSI, not for specific ISDN-Controllers.
nwci2.1.book Seite 42 Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2000 11:36 11 Port Configuration Recall must not be “disabled” at both ends. Port Configuration The port configuration determines how NetWare Connect for ISDN allocates ports when the RNSI service is active. Two configuration options are available: Exclusive Port Reservation This setting specifies that a port and the B channel allocated to it remain reserved from the time the connection is first established until the logical connection is terminated.
nwci2.1.book Seite 43 Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2000 11:36 11 Performance Performance Workstations outside the LAN must send or obtain over ISDN all data—including programs—that is not stored on the local disk drive. Since ISDN’s native throughput is far lower than that of LAN media, remote workstations may work slower than workstations in the LAN.
nwci2.1.book Seite 44 Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2000 11:36 11 Performance l Database and other applications should be configured so that they only transmit actual user data over the ISDN line, while user-specific temporary files are stored locally rather than on network drives. l Ports can be reserved for specific remote workstations, or shared among several remote computers. PPP over ISDN Auto-Framing Auto-framing is currently not supported for incoming calls.
nwci2.1.book Seite 45 Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2000 11:36 11 ISDN-Controller Configuration PPP Call-back NetWare Connect for ISDN currently supports neither recall requests in accordance with RFC 1570 (LCP Extensions) nor in accordance with the Microsoft Draft (Recall Control Protocol, CBCP) on connections with Microsoft Dial-up Networking. This means that remote PPP users cannot issue a recall request in order to have the server accept the connection charges.

To configure an ISDN-Controller, select it in the list and press “Enter”.
nwci2.1.book Seite 47 Donnerstag, 13. Januar 2000 11:36 11 General ISDN-Controller Parameters The mechanisms used to identify ISDN numbers are somewhat different for DDI numbers, MSNs and EAZs. If you select the protocol Pointto-Point 1TR6 or Point-to-Point DSS1, then the workstations in the LAN must use CAPI applications that support DDI numbers. All protocols support both terrestrial and GSM connections. 4. If your ISDN line is a PBX extension, press “Enter” and select “Enabled”. 5.
