[. . . ] Encapsulation--Select CCP (Compression Control Protocol) for the PPP or MP link. The default setting for this control is No. Remote Node Configuration 65 3. Multiple Link Options: BOD Calculation--Select the direction of the traffic you wish to calculate in order to determine when to add or subtract a link. Multiple Link Options: Base Trans Rate--Select the base data transfer rate for this Remote Node. There are two options for this field: 64--Only one channel will be used. Multiple Link Options: Max Trans Rate--Enter the maximum data transfer rate allowed for this Remote Node. There are two options for this field: 64--At most one channel can be used. Multiple Link Options: Target Utility--Enter the two thresholds, separated by a hyphen [-], for subtracting and adding the second channel. Multiple Link Options: Add Persist--This parameter specifies the number of seconds where traffic is above the adding threshold before the router will bring up the second channel. Multiple Link Options: Subtract Persist--This parameter specifies the number of seconds where traffic is below the subtraction threshold before the router drops the second channel. The default is 5 seconds. 66 Remote Node Configuration Once you have completed menu 11. 2, Remote Node PPP Options, press ENTER at the message `Press ENTER to Confirm. . . ' to confirm your selections, or press ESC to cancel your selections. Remote Node Configuration 67 Dial-In Configuration You can configure your DI-106 or DI-106M to receive calls from Remote Dial-in Users (e. g. , telecommuters) and Remote Nodes. There are several differences between Remote Dial-in Users and Remote Nodes: 1. Each Remote Node can have its own set of parameters such as Bandwidth On Demand, Protocol, Security, etc. , while all Remote Dial-in Users share one common set, as defined in the Default Dial In Setup (menu 13). Generally, Remote Dial-in Users are individual users who dial in to the DI-106 or DI-106M directly from their workstations, while Remote Nodes represent networks and are used for LANto-LAN connections. This chapter discusses how to set up Default Dial-in parameters for both Remote Node and Remote Dial-in Users. The following sections give two examples of how a DI-106 or DI-106M can be configured as a dial-in server for either or both. By default, your DI-106 or DI-106M allows information for up to eight users to be kept. To let more than eight remote dial-in users access a DI-106M, you can use a separate RADIUS server to provide remote authentication services. For details on using a 68 Dial-In Configuration separate RADIUS server, see the Using RADIUS Authentication section on page 124. Telecommuting Telecommuting enables people to work at remote sites and still have access to the resources in the business office. Typically, a telecommuter will use a client workstation with TCP/IP or IPX and dial-out capabilities, e. g. , a Windows 95 PC or a Macintosh and an ISDN Terminal Adapter (TA). For telecommuters to call in to your LAN, you need to configure a Dial-In User Profile for each telecommuter. Additionally, you need to configure the Default Dial-In Setup to set the operational parameters for all dial-in users. [. . . ] The Simple Network Management Protocol; an industry-standard protocol for remotely monitoring and controlling network devices from a Network Management System (NMS). SNMP requests are usually transmitted using TCP/IP, though other means are possible. Glossary Segment SLIP SNMP 160 Store-andForward STP Message passing system where the entire message is received before being passed on to the next node. Spanning Tree Protocol; a network protocol defined in IEEE standard 802. 1d, ensuring that a collection of bridges can forward packets throughout the entire interconnected network, while preventing endless network loops. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol; a suite of transport and network layer communications protocols. [. . . ]
