ISDN Operat io n
Use of an ISDN router over a public ISDN network is usually on
a pay-as-you-go basis. You pay for the time that your ISDN link
is connected, although some suppliers also charge for every call
attempt.
Yo ur ISDN router makes calls when there is one or more packets
to send to a remote network. In order to reduce the amount of
ISDN calls this can generate, it is important that you read the rest
of this section. The options outlined here can dramatically reduce
the amount of automatic ISDN calls made by your router.
Your Nautica router comes with a software package called
Nautica Watch (Chapter 21
monitor the activity on your router. The LED on the front of the
router also shows when the router is in use. The green LED will
flash continuously when the router is in use. If this happens when
you are not actively using your PC, then the PC or an application
on the PC is connecting to a remote network resource.
). Nautica Watch allows you to
Note:
4000.
If you are in any doubt at all about any of the following points, or
the operation of your router, contact your local ISDN supplier for
advice.
E-mail Clients
Most TCP/IP based e-mail clients can be configured to check the
mail server for new mail at set intervals. This is known as polling.
If you are locally attached to a mail server, it may be appropriate
to poll for e-mail ever y five minutes or less. These rules change if
you are remotely connected to a mail serv er via an ISDN router. It
is not appropriate, for example, to have the router calling the
remote mail server every five minutes to check for new mail.
There are no LEDs on the Nautica Marlin or Nautica
1-2118814-D Rev. 00
Page 41
To this end, it is recommended that you configure your e-mail
client for manual polling (where you press a button to check for
e-mail), or for a longer polling interval, such as once every hour.
Be aware though, that even with an hourly polling setting , the
router will make one call every hour. If you leave your PC and
router running overnight, this would mean 24 calls every day,
even if you have no new e-mail.
Remotely Mapped Drives
In most popular PC operating systems, it is possible to map
virtual drives (such as J:) to file servers on the network. If you
map network drives over a remote ISDN connection, problems
can occur.
Every time you open a file, or move into a new folder, it is likely
that the PC may request the current status of all drives and bring
up an ISDN call to achieve this.
Menus and Basic Procedures
For this reason, it is recommended that you do not permanently
map network drives over a remote ISDN connection.
File and Print Sharing
Many workgroup functions, designed to allow resource sharing
on a local network, use a periodic announcement/update
mechanism which causes frequent ISDN calls if used over a
remote ISDN connection. In order to avoid this, it is
recommended that you turn off file and print sharing on your PC.
To achieve this, do the following:
1.Click on the Start Button.
2.Choose Settings > Control Panel.
3.Double click on the Networks icon.
4.Click on the File and Print Sharing button.
118814-D Rev. 001-3
Page 42
Nautica Configuration W izard Reference Gu ide
5.Deselect both options in the File and Print Sharing
window:
Figure 1-1.File and Print Sharing Window
6.Click on the OK button in the File and Print Sharing
window.
7.Click on OK in the Networks window.
8.Close down the Control Panel.
9.It may be necessary to reboot your PC at this time.
Graphical FTP Using “Keep Alive”
Traditionally FTP servers time out (or end) an FTP session if
there is no activity after a few minutes. Most command line FTP
clients take no steps to avoid this timeout. Some of the new
graphical FTP clients, howe v er , mak e frequent read (or ke epaliv e)
requests to keep the FTP sessions alive.
This option is fine for local network access and leased line
Internet browsing, but it can cause your remote ISDN connection
to stay up permanently.
If you use such FTP clients, be aware of this problem and close
down remote FTP co nnections once you have finished
transferring files.
1-4118814-D Rev. 00
Page 43
Web Browsers
When you are browsing the web, many sites use “push”
technology. This feature opens a permanent channel between the
web site and your PC in order to update sound and graphic files
continuously. Using a remote router, such sites will keep your
ISDN connection open.
Other web sites cause your browser to refresh the screen at
regular intervals, for example, every 30 seconds. Again, this can
cause a link to stay open.
In order to minimize the effect of these data streams, do not leave
your PC unattended when it is in a web site and close down all
Internet connections when you have finished with them. When
browsing the web, be aware that ISDN calls are being made.

Initial Operations
As soon as the Installation Assis tant is complete, or the software
is opened, Nautica Wizard scans the local network and displays
all connected Nautica devices. The first router in the list is
automatically selected by Nautica Wizard, unless it finds an
unconfigured router, in which case this unit is selected.
Thereafter, the network is scanned every five seconds. Nautica
Wizard shows when it is sending out SNMP requests across the
local network by displaying a small yellow lightening bolt in the
bottom right of the Wizard window.

If a device is found that has no conf i g urat i on , it is disp la yed as

Assistant, refer to the printed document “The Nautica Wizard

The Nautica Wizard window displays different icons for
the different Nautica products. To avoid confusion, some of the

To load this new software onto your router, do the following:
1.In the Nautica Wizard window , click on the router to have
the new software.
2.Click on File > Download New Router Software. The

Save Router Configuration to File
Often, when you configure a router, you enter the same set of
parameters again and again. This can be very repetitive and
tedious if you have several routers to configure.
To make this task easier, it is possible to save the configuration
from one router into a file that can then be loaded into other
routers. This is achieved using Trivial File Transfer Protocol
(TFTP).
This command can be accessed with a unit selected and by:
•Clicking on File > Save Router Configuration to File
•Clicking on the Save Configuration to File button in the
toolbar:
•Right clicking on a router’s icon and selecting Save Router
Configuration to File from the Quick menu:

Every five seconds, Nautica Wizard sends out a discovery
broadcast to the network using a proprietary protocol. When you
make changes to a router’s configuration, an SNMP pack et is sent
out by Nautica Wizard.
Nautica Wizard shows when it is sending out these packets by
displaying a small yellow lightening bolt in the bottom right
corner of the Nautica Wizard window:
