Dial-in Server Configuration
This chapter shows you how to 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 next
table.
Table 6-1 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 calls 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 User
Setup (Menu 13). Each remote node can have its own set of
parameters such as Bandwidth On Demand,
Protocol, Security, etc.
The following sections give two examples of how your Prestige can be configured as a dial-in
server.
6.1 Remote Access Server
Telecommuting enables people to work at remote sites and yet still have access to the resources in
the business office. Typically, a telecommuter will use a client workstation with TCP/IP and dial-
out capabilities, e.g., a Windows® PC or a Macintosh. For telecommuters to call in to your
Prestige, you need to configure a dial-in user profile for each telecommuter. Additionally, you need
to configure the Default Dial-in User Setup to set the operational parameters for all dial-in users.
An example of remote access server for telecommuters is shown next.
