27.2.2.2 Nailed-Up Connection
A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic
demand. The Prestige does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The first is
that idle timeout is disabled. The second is that the Prestige will try to bring up the connection
when turned on and whenever the connection is down. A nailed-up connection can be very
expensive for obvious reasons.
Do not specify a nailed-up connection unless your telephone company offers flat-rate service
or you need a constant connection and the cost is of no concern.
The following table describes the fields not already described in Table 108 .
Table 109 Fields in Menu 11.1 (PPPoE Encapsulation Specific)
FIELD DESCRIPTION
Service Name If you are using PPPoE encapsulation, then type the name of your PPPoE service
here. Only valid with PPPoE encapsulation.
Authen This field sets the authentication protocol used for outgoing calls.
Options for this field are:
•
CHAP/PAP - Your Prestige will accept either CHAP or PAP when requested by
this remote node.
• CHAP- accept CHAP only.
• PAP- accept PAP only.
Telco Option
Allocated Budget The field sets a ceiling for outgoing call time for this remote node. The default for
this field is 0 meaning no budget control.
Period(hr) This field is the time period that the budget should be reset. For example, if we are
allowed to call this remote node for a maximum of 10 minutes every hour, then the
Allocated Budget is (10 minutes) and the Period(hr) is 1 (hour).
Schedules You can apply up to four schedule sets here. For more details please refer to the
Call Schedule Setup chapter.
Nailed-Up
Connection
This field specifies if you want to make the connection to this remote node a nailed-
up connection. More details are given earlier in this section.
Session Options
Idle Timeout Type the length of idle time (when there is no traffic from the Prestige to the remote
node) in seconds that can elapse before the Prestige automatically disconnects the
PPPoE connection. This option only applies when the Prestige initiates the call.
27.2.3 PPTP Encapsulation
If you change the Encapsulation to PPTP in menu 11.1, then you will see the next screen.
