4. Configure the dial circuit to initiate outbound calls only, accept inbound calls
only, or both initiate and accept calls.
Use the set calls command. To avoid a conflict if both ends of the link attempt
to establish a call at the same time, configure the dial circuit at one end of the
link to accept inbound calls only, and configure the dial circuit at the other end
of the link to initiate outbound calls only. For example:
Circuit Config>set calls outbound
Circuit Config>set calls inbound
Note: For WAN Restoral operations or another dial-on-demand application, you
should set up the circuit for either inbound or outbound calls.
5. Specify the timeout period for the circuit.
Use the set idle command. If there is no traffic over the circuit for this specified
time period, the dial circuit hangs up. To configure the circuit as a dedicated
circuit, set the idle timer to zero. To configure the circuit to dial on demand, set
the idle timer to a value other than zero. The range is 0 to 65535 and the
default is 60 seconds. For example:
Circuit Config>set idle
Idle timer (seconds, 0 means always active) [60]? 0
Note: For WAN Restoral operations you must set the idle time to 0.
6. Optionally, you can delay the time between when a call is established and the
initial packet is sent.
Use the set selftest-delay command. Setting a self-test delay can prevent initial
packets from being dropped. If your modems take extra time to synchronize,
adjust this delay. For example:
Circuit Config>set selftest-delay
Selftest delay(milli-seconds,0 means no delay)[150]?200
7. Set the inbound address name.
Use the set inbound command. You need to use this command only if you set
up the circuit for both inbound and outbound calls and if the router’s destination
address is different from the destination address that the remote router dials.
For example, the numbers would be different if one of the routers must go
through a PBX, international, or inter-LATA exchange. For example:
Circuit Config>set inbound
Assign destination inbound address name []? newyork
The inbound address name must match one of the names that you defined
using the add v34-address command.
8. Optionally, you can enter the configuration process for the datalink layer
protocol that is running on the dial circuit (PPP or Frame Relay). Use the
encapsulator command. For example:
Circuit Config>encapsulator
