Using the Incoming Phone List for Callback Service
If the callback mode of your router is Server One Charge or Server One Charge
Call ID, the router uses incoming call filtering to identify the client, not PPP
authentication, which relies on the caller resolution table. Using incoming call
filtering, the router can maintain security while refusing the initial call from the
client. This saves the client phone charges. To enable incoming call filtering, see
Chapter 9.
When the server uses incoming filtering, it relies on the incoming phone number
to identify the client. When the server receives the call from the client, it matches
the client’s phone number with a phone number and circuit number in the
incoming phone list. The circuit number, specified in the Callback Demand
Circuit Name parameter, identifies the circuit that the server uses to place the
outgoing call back to the client.
The Callback Demand Circuit Name parameter is located in the Incoming Phone
List window. For configuration instructions, see “Creating an Incoming Phone
List (ISDN only)” on page 13-20.
Demand Circuit Groups
A demand circuit group is a set of demand circuits that share the same
user-defined, unnumbered protocol configuration. An unnumbered protocol
configuration does not restrict the router to a specific destination address. Instead,
it enables the router to use any circuit in the group for an incoming call,
eliminating the need to configure a unique demand circuit for each remote node in
the network. One demand circuit group supports many remote routers, thereby
reducing the configuration tasks for a large network.
Demand Pools and Demand Circuit Groups
Like individual demand circuits, a demand circuit group is associated with an
existing demand pool. The number of circuits in the demand circuit group must be
less than or equal to the number of lines in the demand pool. If you change the
number of lines in a demand pool, you must increase or decrease the number of
demand circuits in the group accordingly.
When the router activates a line from the demand pool, the circuits in a demand
circuit group also become available. The router does not bring up the circuits until
it receives an incoming call. Demand circuit groups can only receive calls.
