• To provide enough time for a server to call back, make sure the holddown timer on the client is at

• Do not configure dynamic route backup on the interface. Otherwise, the interface does not accept
incoming calls or outgoing calls other than those that are initiated for the dynamic route backup

Configuring the callback client
The callback client can place calls to the remote end and receive return calls from the remote end. The
