Some applications require that the router (only for the ISDN models) be remotely activated, or
be able to dial up to the ISP via the ISDN interface. Vigor routers provide this feature by
allowing user to make a phone call to the router and then ask it to dial up to the ISP.
Accordingly, a teleworker can access the remote network to retrieve resources. Of course, a
fixed IP address is required for WAN connection and some internal network resource has to be
exposed for remote users, such as FTP, WWW.
Available settings are explained as follows:

Description
Dial Retry - It specifies the dial retry counts per triggered
packet. A triggered packet is the packet whose destination
is outside the local network. The default setting is no dial
retry. If set to 5, for each triggered packet, the router will
dial 5 times until it is connected to the ISP or remote access
router.
Dial Delay Interval - It specifies the interval between
dialup retries. By default, the interval is 0 second.
Remote Activation – It can help users who would like to
access the server which is off the Internet in the head office.
To remotely make the server to be available on the Internet,
i.e. make the router in the head office activating its Internet
access either by dialing-up or starting broadband
connection, users can make a regular phone call (the
number is set in the Remote Activation field) to the router
as signaling it for activation. The phone call will be soon
disconnected once the router is on line.
Note that Dialing to a Single ISP should be pre-configured
properly.
Link Type - Because ISDN has two B channels
(64Kbps/per channel), you can specify whether you would
like to have single B channel, two B channels or BOD
(Bandwidth on Demand). Four options are available: Link
Disable, Dialup 64Kbps, Dialup 128Kbps, Dialup BOD.
