■ Connect Time
The dial up router will be disconnected after the time limit set in this timer,
regardless of activity.
If virtual connection is enabled, the Inactivity Timeout and Connect Time apply
to the virtual session. Timers that affect the LAN to LAN connection when
virtual connection is enabled are:
■ Inactivity Timeout (User profile)
If there is no data transfer on the link for the duration set in this timer, the LAN
to LAN session drops and the physical connection drops. Time in the virtual
connection state is included.
■ Connect Time (User profile)
The dial up router will be disconnected and the session will be dropped after the
time limit set in this timer, regardless of activity. Time in the virtual connection
state is included.
■ Disconnect If Inactive (LAN to LAN, Virtual Connection)
If there is no data transfer on the link for the duration set in this timer, the physical
connection is dropped, but the LAN to LAN session is maintained. This timer
is in effect only after the "Connect a Minimum of" timer expires.
■ Connect a Minimum of (LAN to LAN, Virtual Connection)
When the physical connection is established, this timer sets the minimum
duration that the physical link stays active. A minimum duration may be required
if dynamic routing is used (to allow the exchange of routing information).
■ Reconnect Every (LAN to LAN, Virtual Connection)
This timer can be used to ensure that the physical link is periodically
reestablished so that routing information is exchanged.
If you are using Radius as your authentication server, you can configure the Radius
server to set the Inactivity Timeout and Connect Time.
Authentication A dial in router is authenticated in the same manner as any other dial in user. The
user ID and password must be set up in the authentication database that has been
defined in the Security settings of the 833IS. Authentication that relies on token
security (SecureID, Axent) cannot be used with the LAN to LAN feature, as the dial
in router has no mechanism for responding to the security challenge. The 833IS will
