Chapter 10 - WAN Link Protocols

If you select None here, the router will not initiate a global dial-back on
all incoming connections to this interface.

v Note: You may still enforce dial-back security on selected connections by
correctly setting the parameters in the User Authentication Database Dialog
Box discussed later in this chapter.

Dialing Retries / Connect Retries

Use this parameter to set the number of dialing retry attempts the router will
make following an unsuccessful connection effort.

If you selected the On Demand PPP Link pulldown discussed earlier,
this field will be labeled Dialing Retries. This option can only be used if
Allow Dial Out has been checked and a Dial-Out Script has been set.

If you selected the Dedicated PPP Link or Frame Relay Link pulldown
discussed earlier, this field will be labeled Connect Retries. On those
types of links, this option can only be used if a Connect Script has
been set.

Values may range between 1 and 255.

Retry Delay Setting

This parameter sets the amount of time in seconds the router will wait
between dialing attempts.

For an On Demand PPP Link, this option can only be used if Allow
Dial Out
has been checked and a Dial-Out Script has been set.

For a Dedicated PPP Link or a Frame Relay Link, this option can only
be used if a Connect Script has been set.

Values may range between 1 and 255.

Script Timeout

This is the amount of time in seconds the router will wait for input when it
encounters an “Expect” statement in one of your chat scripts.

For more information on Expect statements and chat scripts in general, see the
section on the Chat Script Editor Dialog Box later in this manual.
