The following options are available in the peer list under WEBconfig and terminal program/telnet for the callback function:
| With this entry ... | ... you set up the callback in this manner: |
|---|---|
| 'Off' | No callback occurs. |
| 'Auto' (not for Windows operating systems, see below) | The remote station will be called back if so specified in the peer list. At first, the call is denied and as soon as the channel is clear again, it is called back (duration is approx. 8 seconds). If the remote station is not found in the numerical list, it is first accepted as the DEFAULT remote station, and the callback is negotiated during the protocol negotiation. A charge of one unit is incurred for this. |
| 'Name' | Before a callback occurs, a protocol negotiation is always carried out even when the remote station was found in the numerical list (e.g. for computers with Windows having direct dialing on the device). Here only minor charges result. |
| 'fast' | When the remote station is found in the numerical list, a quick callback is carried out, i.e., the LANCOM sends a special signal to the remote station and calls back immediately when the channel is clear again. After approx. 2 seconds, the connection is established. If the remote station does not take back the call immediately after the signal, then after two seconds the situation reverts back to normal callback procedures (duration is once again approx. 8 seconds). This process is only available for DSS1 connections. |
| 'Looser' | Use the 'Looser' option when a callback is expected from the remote station. This setting carries out two functions simultaneously. On the one hand, it ensures that a custom connection setup is taken back when there is an incoming call from the called remote station, and on the other hand, the function is activated with this setting to be able to react to the rapid callback procedure. In other words, in order to be able to use rapid callback, the caller must be in the 'Looser' mode while the party being called must discontinue callback with 'LANCOM'. |
Note: The setting 'Name' offers the greatest security when an entry is
made into the number list as well as the PPP list. The setting 'LANCOM'
offers the fastest callback method between two LANCOM Systems routers.
Note: With Windows remote stations, the 'Name' setting must be
selected.
