Notes:

Before beginning,

be sure your system’s resources are properly configured. This includes

resources, lines, and datalinks, if applicable. Refer to the

Configuring Resources and Lines

chapter.

In order to successfully dial out to a device on the CyberSWITCH’s Known Connect List,
you must have the device information properly set up and the dial-out number(s)
stipulated. Refer to the

On-node Device Database

section found in the Configuring Device Level

Databases chapter.

The dial out call must be made within a configured amount of time from its last connection.
This time is configurable through the Bridge Configuration menu’s Spanning Tree
Parameters. The parameter for configuring the time is called the bridge age time. The
default bridge age time is 5 minutes. Refer to

page 266

for instructions on changing the

default value.
