Remote Node Configuration

A Remote Node represents both a remote gateway and the internet
behind it, across an ISDN connection. A Remote Node is required for
placing calls to or answering calls from a remote network. Note that
when you use Menu 4 to configure the Internet, the Prestige will
automatically add a Remote Node for you. Once a Remote Node is
configured properly, traffic to the remote LAN will trigger the Prestige
to make a call automatically (i.e., Dial On Demand). Similarly, calls
from the remote LAN will be answered automatically and security will
be checked.

In this chapter, we will discuss the parameters that are protocol
independent. The protocol dependent configuration will be covered in
subsequent chapters. For TCP/IP, see Chapter 7. For IPX, see
Chapter 8. For bridging, see Chapter 9.

From the Main Menu, enter 11 to go to Menu 11 - Remote Node
Setup. When in menu 11, enter the number of the Remote Nodes (1 to
4) that you wish to configure as shown below:
