Dial-in Server Configuration
You can configure your Prestige to receive calls from remote dial-in users, e.g.,
telecommuters, as well as remote nodes. There are several differences between dial-in users
and remote nodes, as summarized in the table below.
Table 8-1 Remote Dial-in Users/Remote Nodes Comparison Chart
Remote Dial-in Users Remote Nodes
Your Prestige will only answer calls from remote
dial-in users; it will not make call to them. Your Prestige can make calls to and receive calls
from the remote node.
All remote dial-in users share one common set of
parameters, as defined in the Default Dial In Setup
(Menu 13). Each remote node can have its own set of
parameters such as Bandwidth On Demand,
Protocol, Security, etc.
This chapter discusses how to setup default dial-in parameters for both remote node and
remote dial-in users. The following sections give two examples of how your Prestige can be
configured as a dial-in server.
Due to memory constraints, your Prestige can only store a finite number of users locally. If
there are more remote dial-in users than what Prestige can support locally, you can use an
external RADIUS server to provide authentication service. For details on using a RADIUS
server, see the
Using RADIUS Authentication section in Chapter 11 - System Security .
