If this control is set to Optional, the router will be able to call back to the Remote Dial-in User if so requested by that user’s system;...
Page 85: More On Clid
5. Phone # Supplied by Caller—This control allows the Remote Dial-in User to specify the callback telephone number on a call- by-call basis. This is useful for when the DI-106 or DI-106M returns a callback to a mobile user at different numbers, e.g., a sales rep in a hotel.
Page 86 For instance, your company pays for the connection charges for telecommuting employees, and you are using the DI-106 or DI-106M as the dial-in server. You can turn on both the CLID authentication and callback options for the dial-in users.
Page 87: Tcp/Ip Configuration
TCP/IP Configuration This chapter shows you how to configure your DI-106 or DI-106M for TCP/IP. Depending on your particular applications, you will need to configure different menus. For instance, Internet access is the most common application of TCP/IP. For this application, you should configure menu 4. We will illustrate the configuration for other applications in the following sections.
Page 88: Lan-To-Lan Application
255.255.255.240. Number of Bits LAN-to-LAN Application A typical LAN-to-LAN application is to use the DI-106 or DI-106M to call from a branch office to the headquarters, as depicted in the following diagram. For the branch office, you need to configure a Remote Node in order to dial out to the headquarters.
Page 89: Remote Node Setup
2. IP Address—Enter the IP address of the gateway at the remote site (in this case, headquarters). If the remote router is using a different IP address than the one entered here, your DI-106 or DI-106M will drop the call.
Page 90 If this is the case, enter the IP address assigned to the WAN port of your DI-106 or DI-106M. Note that this is the address assigned to the local DI-106 or DI-106M, not the remote router.

Page 96: Di-106M On Lan With Server
If the DI-106M will be connected to a LAN with an existing NetWare server, you will not need to configure the DI-106M as a seed router, and hence there will be no need for a network number parameter in the Ethernet Setup menu for the DI-106M.
Page 97: Ipx Spoofing
The network number must be unique and not used anywhere else on the entire internetwork. IPX Spoofing The DI-106M comes with several pre-defined call filters designed to prevent certain IPX packets from triggering a call to a Remote Node. These filters should inform your DI-106M which packets should be ignored as traffic.
Page 98 1. Seed Router—Determine if the DI-106M is to act as a seed router. This value depends on the existing network. If there is a NetWare server providing the network number, select No. If there is no NetWare server providing the network number, select Yes.

Page 105: Bridging Configuration
Bridging Configuration This chapter shows you how to configure the Bridging options for the DI-106M. Depending on your particular applications, you will need to configure different menus. We will illustrate the configuration for some applications in the following sections. IPX Spoofing The DI-106M comes with several pre-defined call filters designed to prevent certain IPX packets from triggering a call to a Remote Node.
Page 106: Bridge Ethernet Setup
Bridge Ethernet Setup Bridging is used to forward packets of unsupported protocols whose destination is not on the local Ethernet to the WAN. Basically, all non-local packets are bridged to the WAN; however, the DI-106M applies special handling for certain IPX packets to reduce the number of calls, depending on the setting of the “Handle IPX”...
Page 107: Lan-To-Lan Application
Handle IPX—Set this parameter to None if there is no IPX traffic on the LAN or if you do not want to apply any special handling for IPX. Set it to Client if there are only client workstations on the LAN. Set to Server if there are only IPX servers on the LAN.

Page 111: Filter Configuration
Filter Configuration About Filtering Your DI-106 or DI-106M uses filters to decide whether or not to allow passage of a data packet and/or to make a call over the ISDN line. There are three types of filters involved: incoming data filters, outgoing data filters, and call filters.
Page 112: Di-106'S Filter Structure
For incoming packets, your DI-106 or DI-106M applies data filters only. Packets are processed depending upon whether a match is made. The router allows you to customize the filter sets that you wish to use. This following sections describe how to configure the router’s filter sets.
