Remote Node Configuration

This chapter covers the parameters that are protocol independent. The

protocol-dependent configuration (TCP/IP) is covered in the next chapter.

A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both
the remote gateway and the network behind it across a WAN connection. Note that when you use
Menu 4 to set up Internet access, you are actually configuring one of the remote nodes. Once a
remote node is configured correctly, traffic to the remote network will trigger your Prestige to
make a call automatically, i.e., Dial On Demand.

4.1 Remote Node Setup

This section describes the protocol-independent parameters for a remote node.

4.1.1 Remote Node Profile

To configure a remote node, follow these steps:

Step 1.

From the Main Menu, select menu option 11 to open Menu 11 - Remote Node
Setup
.

Step 2.

When Menu 11 appears, as shown next, enter the number of the remote node that you
wish to configure.
