commands in the chat scripts you select as the Dial-Out Script and/or
Dial-back Script.

If you select V.25bis dialing, make sure you enter V.25bis-style
commands in the chat scripts you select as the Dial-Out Script and/or
Dial-back Script.

v Note: Please check the manual for the communications device you are
using to determine the best available dialing method for this interface.

v Note: Compatible Systems routers support “chat scripts” which let you
provide a sequence of commands (using chat “send” statements), and antic-
ipated responses (using chat “expect” statements) to devices which need to
be dialed.

Dial-Out / Connect Script

This pull-down menu selects the main chat script the router will run when
attempting to initiate a connection.

You may choose any of the chat scripts which have been configured into the
router. For more information on creating chat scripts, see the section on the
Chat Script Editor Dialog Box later in this manual.

If you selected the On Demand PPP Link pulldown discussed earlier,
this pulldown will be labeled Dial-Out, and you must select a chat script
here. The chat script you select will be executed whenever dialing is initi-
ated.

If you selected the Dedicated PPP Link or Frame Relay Link pulldown
discussed earlier, this pulldown will be labeled Connect, and you may
optionally select a chat script here. This script will be run when the router
starts up and again whenever PPP communications are lost for some
reason, and can be used to provide a set of required connect responses to
a device (such as a terminal server) at the other end of the dedicated line.

Dial-back Script

This pull-down menu provides a way to select a chat script which will provide
global dial-back security on incoming connections to this interface. This
option can only be used if you have checked both the Allow Dial Out and
Allow Dial In boxes discussed above.

You may use this menu to choose any of the chat scripts which have been
configured into the router. For more information on creating chat scripts, see
the section on the Chat Script Editor Dialog Box later in this manual.

If you select a chat script here, the router will accept a PPP dial-in
connection and then automatically drop the link and initiate dialing using
the chat script you have selected.
