Placing a Call Manually
to a Temporary Service
Provider
You can also manually place a call to a service provider that has not been
previously configured, as long as that service provider issues IP addresses
dynamically to the calling party. To place a call manually to a temporary location,
follow these steps:
This call profile will remain under
TempSvcProvider
until you change the settings
of these fields.

Make Call
.
A message indicates that the call is being placed. The LAN Modem’s OH LED lights
up green, indicating a call in progress. Once connected, the CD LED will light up,
indicating a successful connection. Once connected, you are ready to run any
desired application appropriate for that location, such as ftp to transfer files. Or,
you may enter a different URL in your Web browser to access the Internet.
Once a temporary call is established, other workstations may join this call by
clicking
Participate in Existing Call
from the Manual Call Control page. Note that if
multiple parties share the connection established as a
TempSvcProvider
, the call
can be disconnected only by the workstation that initiated the temporary call.
