n.n.n.n (where n is a number) for any other ip address of your choosing (as system
administrator); e.g 192.65.144.6

t-port number

(use only when you have selected a user-service of ‘telnet’) enter the TCP port
number of the host with which the unit should start the service. The default port is
23; in most cases you can use the default value.

callback-flag

whether the unit calls the user back when he/she connects to the unit (a security
feature). Set either ‘on’ or ‘off’ (default is ‘off’). When ‘on’, enter a phone
number (see below).

phone-number

a number which the unit will dial to callback the user (you must have set
‘callback’ to ‘on’). Enter the number without spaces. To change the phone number,
overwrite the previous entry.

i-timer value

enter a period in seconds for which the idle timer will run. Use this timer to close a
connection because of inactivity. When the idle timer expires, if there has been no
exchange of data, the unit will end the connection. The default value is 0 (zero),
meaning that the idle timer will not expire (the connection is open permanently).
The maximum value is 2

32

seconds.

The idle timer (here) will override the idle timer which you can configure for a
line.
