Netopia PN Series Benutzerhandbuch

■

Select Dial and set this connection profile to only make calls, 
only receive calls, or do both. Choose from In Only (receive 
calls), Out Only (make calls), or Dial In/Out (receive and make 
calls).

■

Select Number to Dial and enter the telephone number you 
received from your ISP. This is the number the Netopia Router 
dials to reach your ISP. Enter the number as you would dial it, 
including any required prefixes (such as area, access, and 
long-distance dialing codes). 

If you selected IDSL (Pt-to-Pt) as your Netopia Router’s switch 
type the connection profile’s number to dial will default to 
555-4321. The same default information applies to this 
number as the directory number, in order for the Netopia Router 
to allow a connection to dial out. 

Note: If you previously selected Permanent as your router’s 
Circuit Type in the ISDN Easy Setup screen, Number to Dial will 
not be an available option.

■

Select Alternate Number to Dial if your ISP requires that you 
use a second telephone number to dial, or as an alternative 
backup when the first channel is unavailable to use.

■

Select Dial On Demand and toggle No if manual connections 
are required for this profile. The default for Dial On Demand is 
Yes, which is correct for most uses. When Dial On Demand is 
set to Yes, the Netopia Router can automatically make calls as 
the need arises, such as when a request to connect to a host 
on the Internet is made by a computer on the local network. 
Dial on demand also comes into action when IP and or IPX 
traffic needs to go to a route defined by the profile attributes. 
Every dial-on-demand profile becomes a part of the routing 
table.

■

Select Idle Timeout (seconds) and enter the time limit desired 
before the Netopia Router drops a call if there is no activity on 
the line. The default timeout setting is 300 seconds (5 
minutes.)
