Calling back remote users
The Callback feature lets you confirm the identity of a remote user who is
connecting over a modem or ISDN. When a remote user attempts to connect to
the host, the host computer terminates the connection, and then calls back the
remote computer at a preconfigured number. If the remote computer is not waiting
for a connection at that number, the host cancels the session.
To call back remote users
1
In the Symantec pcAnywhere window, in Advanced view, on the left navigation
bar, click Hosts.
2
In the right pane, under Hosts, right-click the connection item that you want
to configure, and then click Properties.
3
In the Host Properties window, on the Callers tab, right-click the caller item
that you want to configure, and then click Properties.
