The remote unit must be assigned a unique name and IP address. A 
valid subnet mask must be specified too. The name and IP address 
must exactly match the entries in the central site unit’s ISDN Numbers 
and ISDN Autocall tables for this remote unit. Set the ISDN network 
type to match the ISDN service.

The unit IP address and subnet mask are required (for management 
of the unit) even if the network is always entirely connected within a 
non-IP Netware environment.

remote unit you want to call field. 

4 Press [Ctrl]+[E] to submit the new setting.

When the configuration parameters have been submitted, the 
remote unit automatically makes an ISDN call to the central site unit 
lasting around 90 seconds. It makes this call to learn the NRIPs and 
SAPs being advertised by the Netware Server.

Although the unit is bridging it is using the information gathered to 
build the IPX Autocall Table. After the 90 second call has cleared,
