Configuring Remote Node Access 213
Configuring an Interface for Remote Node Access
1. From the Internetworking Configuration menu, select Net-
work Interfaces and press <Enter>.
2. Select the interface on which you want to allow remote node
access from the list of network interfaces.
The ISDN Network Interface Configuration menu is displayed.
3. Specify ISDN Network Interface Configuration parameters.
For more information and parameter descriptions, refer to
Chapter 6, section "ISDN Network Interface Configuration".
4. Press <Enter> on Expert Configuration.
For more information and parameter descriptions, refer to
Chapter 6, section "Expert Configuration of ISDN Interface
<Name>".
4a. Set the Interface Usage to either Remote Node-LAN or
Both LAN-LAN and Remote Node-LAN.
"Remote Node-LAN" means that this interface can only be
used for connections to remote NetWAYS/ISDN and PPP-
compatible clients.
"Both LAN-LAN and Remote Node-LAN" allows both types
of connections over this interface.
4b. Set the Remote Node Usage to either Exclusive Inter-
face Reservation or On-Demand Interface Reservation.
"Exclusive Interface Reservation" means that an interface
and the underlying ISDN data channel will be reserved for a
connection from the first dial-in until the connection is
cleared logically. The logical connection between the remote
client and the interface will be maintained in case of an
Inactivity Timeout (physical connection down), and any
incoming call to the interface will be rejected during this
period. This guarantees that an ISDN data channel will be
physically available whenever data are to be transmitted
from or to the remote client, and is the recommended type
of remote node usage.
