Note: The Wave Server supports dial-on-demand, also called dial backup, over analog phone
lines. If a digital line fails, a dedicated 2400-baud modem automatically dials a pager over
analog lines on system failure.
Wave dial-in connection default settings
The modem on the Wave Server are set up for configurable dial-out functionality and to
automatically answer incoming calls to the default Modems hunt group (extension 570). When
a client machine dials in, the default Modem trunk group rings the default Modems hunt group.
The Modems hunt group rings the modems in a circular fashion until it finds a free modem
extension to answer the dial-in call.
Note: For calls from outside Wave to connect, the Modems hunt group extension must be bound
to a phone number that can be reached from outside Wave.
Persistent connection
A persistent connection is always logically and physically active. It may also be referred to as
a dedicated account. While the connection is intended to be constantly active, the physical
connection may be disconnected if the Wave Server is restarted.
The Wave Server also supports a persistent ISDN connection.
A persistent connection may be a permanent connection—both physically and logically
active—such as a digital line that goes to your ISP. All permanent connections are persistent.
Wave data routing
A router is a device that moves data packets between networks. A router can be used to link
LANs together, locally or remotely, as part of a WAN. Routing is the process of delivering
messages from the sender to the receiver using the most appropriate path through one or more
networks.
