Dial-In Configuration
You can configure your DI-106 or DI-106M to receive calls from
Remote Dial-in Users (e.g., telecommuters) and Remote Nodes.
There are several differences between Remote Dial-in Users and
Remote Nodes:
1.
The router can make calls to or answer calls from a Remote
Node. However, it will only answer calls from Remote Dial-in
Users.
2.
Each Remote Node can have its own set of parameters such as
Bandwidth On Demand, Protocol, Security, etc., while all
Remote Dial-in Users share one common set, as defined in the
Default Dial In Setup (menu 13).
3.
Generally, Remote Dial-in Users are individual users who dial in
to the DI-106 or DI-106M directly from their workstations,
while Remote Nodes represent networks and are used for LAN-
to-LAN connections.
This chapter discusses how to set up Default Dial-in parameters for
both Remote Node and Remote Dial-in Users. The following
sections give two examples of how a DI-106 or DI-106M can be
configured as a dial-in server for either or both.
By default, your DI-106 or DI-106M allows information for up to
eight users to be kept. To let more than eight remote dial-in users
access a DI-106M, you can use a separate RADIUS server to
provide remote authentication services. For details on using a
