The Bridge/Router module is ideally suited for large central sites providing 

 

access for remote users to central site services over ISDN or leased lines. 

 

This section describes four of the most common applications of the 

 

Bridge/Router module using ISDN. All of these configurations can be 

 

carried out using the 

 

 option and no further 

 

configuration is necessary to make the unit operational. However, you 

 

may want to fine tune the performance of the unit. For more 

 

information about configuring the Bridge/Router Module, see the 

 

 guide.

 

The four typical applications are:

■

 

Connecting to a Novell Network.

■

 

Connecting to an IP host on the same IP network.

■

 

Connecting to an IP host on another IP network.

■

 

Connecting to the Internet or a PPP router.

 

You may need to combine two or more of these applications to provide 

 

full connectivity to your network. This is easily done by repeating the 

 

 option as many times as is needed.

 

 

Many organizations base their local area networks on Novell NetWare 

 

servers and users may need to access information stored on servers in 

 

other locations. If you are using ISDN to connect to the remote site, you 

 

can configure the unit to automatically call and connect to remote 

 

Novell servers when connection is required. 

 

During configuration, once you have entered the ISDN number for the 

 

remote site, the unit makes a call to the remote site and autodiscovers 

 

the Novell servers on that network. It is then able to autocall the 

 

remote site whenever a connection to one of the remote servers is 

 

requested. To the user at the local site it will appear as though the 

 

server is on the same network.
