Table 7-1. Remote Node Profile Fields
Field Description
Rem Node Name This field is required. Enter a descriptive name for the remote node (for example,
MyOffice). This field supports up to eight characters. This name must be unique
from any other remote node name or remote dial-in user name.
Active Press the space bar to toggle between Yes and No. When a remote node is
deactivated, it has no effect on the operation of the router, even though it is still
kept in the database and can be activated in the future. Deactivated nodes are
displayed with a minus sign (-) preceding the name in Menu 11.
Call Direction If this parameter is set to Both, the router can place and receive calls to and from
this remote node. If set to Incoming, the router does not place a call to this remote
node. If set to Outgoing, the router drops any call from this remote node.
Several other fields in this menu depend on this parameter. For example, in order
to enable Call Back, the Call Direction must be Both.
Incoming:
Rem Login
Name
Enter the login name that this remote node uses when it calls into the router at the
remote location.
Rem Password Enter the password used when this remote node calls into the router at the remote
location.
Rem CLID This field is active only if Call Direction is either Both or Incoming. Otherwise, N/A
appears in the field. This is the Calling Line ID (the telephone number of the calling
party) of this remote node. If you enable the CLID Authen field in Menu 13 - Default
Dial In, the router checks this number against the CLID in the incoming call. If they
do not match and the CLID Authen is Required, the router rejects the call.
Call Back This field is valid only if Call Direction is Both. Otherwise, N/A appears in the field.
This field determines whether or not you want the router to call back after receiving
a call from this remote node. If this option is enabled, the router disconnects the
initial call from this node and calls the node back at the Outgoing Primary Phone
Number.
