Quick Configuration
 
This section describes how you can configure the 
 
unit to bridge or route over ISDN links to suit most 
 
networking requirements using a simple forms-based 
 
user interface. If you want to connect to a remote 
 
site using leased line WAN links see 
 
 
 
 on 
 
 
.
 
If you are unsure about the networking configuration 
 
you require, se
 
 
 
 
 
 for more 
 
information.
 
IMPORTANT
 
 The Quick Configuration menu option is 
 
designed to be used only when you set up the unit for 
 
the first time. If you want to make any changes to the 
 
unit’s configuration at a later stage, you should use 
 
the management system menus to make these 
 
changes. For more information, see the Software 
 
Reference guide.
