7. Dial-In Configuration
You can configure the Prestige 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:
7.1.1. Differences between remote dial-in users and remote
nodes:
1. The Prestige can make calls to or answer calls from the remote node. However, the
Prestige only answers calls from the remote dial-in user.
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 Prestige directly
from their workstations, while remote nodes represent networks and are used for LAN-
to-LAN connections.
This chapter discusses how to setup Default Dial-in parameters for both remote node and
remote dial-in user. The following sections give two examples of how the Prestige can be
setup as a dial-in server for both.
7.2. Telecommuting
Telecommuting enables people to work at remote sites and yet still have access to resources
in the business office. Typically, a telecommuter uses a client workstation with TCP/IP and
dial-out capabilities, e.g., a Windows 95 PC or a Macintosh and an ISDN Terminal
Adapter (TA) or a modem. For a telecommuter to call in to your LAN, you need to
configure a Dial-In User Profile for him/her. Additionally, you need to configure the
Default Dial-In Setup to set the operational parameters for all dial-in users.
An example of Remote Dial-in User application, telecommuting, is shown below:
