The available remote stations are created in the peer list with a suitable name and additional parameters. For every WAN interface exists a separate peer list. The peer list reached as follows: For every WAN interface exists a separate peer list. The peer list reached as follows.LANconfig: Communication / Remote sites / Remote Sites (DSL)
WEBconfig: LCOS menu tree / Setup / WAN / DSL-Broadband-Peers
For the remote stations following parameters are required:
| Peer list | Parameter | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DSL | Name | With this name the remote stations are identified in the router modules. As soon as the router module has detected the remote station (using the IP address of the destination), the connection parameters are located in the peer list. |
| Short hold | This time indicates how long the connection is kept if no data is being transmitted anymore. If zero is entered, the connection does not terminate automatically. If 9999 seconds are entered a broken off connection is rebuild automatically. | |
| Access concentrator | The Access concentrator (AC) is a server, which can be accessed by the remote station. If several ADSL providers are listed, select the provider that is responsible for the remote station (using the name of the AC). The value for the AC is advised to you by your provider. If no value is entered for the AC, every AC is accepted that provides the demanded service. | |
| Service | Enter the service you would like to use from your provider. The service can be e.g. internet surfing or even video downstream. The value for the service is advised to you by your provider. If no value is entered, every Service is accepted that is provided by the AC. | |
| Layer name | Select the layer name for the connection. The configuration of this layer is described in the following section. | |
| VPI | Virtual Path Identifier. | |
| VCI | Virtual Channel Identifier. The value for VCI and VPI are advised to you by your provider. Standard values for the combination of VPI and VCI are: 0/35, 0/38, 1/32, 8/35, 8/48. | |
| Dialup-Peers | Name | See DSL-Broadband-Peers |
| Phonenumber | A Phonenumber is only then required, if the remote station must be called. This field can remain empty if only incoming calls should be accepted. Several phonenumbers for the same remote station can be entered in the RoundRobin list. | |
| Short hold | See DSL-Broadband-Peers | |
| Short hold 2 | The second B channel is cut down, if it is not used for the set duration. | |
| Layer name | See DSL-Broadband-Peers | |
| Callback | The automatic callback provides a secure connection and decreases the costs for the caller. Further information can be found in the next section . |
Note: Please note following points when editing the peer list:
- If two identical peer lists (e.g. DSL-Broadband-Peers list and Dialup-Peers
list) are entered, the LANCOM when connecting to the remote station
uses the “faster” interface. The other interface is then used as
a backup.
- If nor the access concentrator neither the service is specified the router connects to the first AC that answers the query.
- In the occasion of a DSLoL interface the same entries as for the DSL interface are valid. The entries are made in the Broadband-Peers list.
