Remote Node Configuration
This chapter shows you how to set up remote nodes on the WAN side.
A remote node is required for placing calls to a remote gateway. A remote node represents both the remote

access, you are configuring one of the remote nodes.

Nailed-Up Connection (PPPoE/PPTP)
A nailed-up connection is a dial-up line where the connection is always up regardless of traffic demand.
The ZyAIR does two things when you specify a nailed-up connection. The first is that idle timeout is
disabled. The second is that the ZyAIR will try to bring up the connection when turned on and whenever the
connection is down. A nailed-up connection can be very expensive for obvious reasons.

constant connection and the cost is of no concern.
