Configuring Dialup Modem Access

AUSB dial-up modem or a USB-to-Serial adapter connected to a serial modem can be used with the thin client to access a dial-up server.

The dial-up server may provide either of two paths to the enterprise intranet:

An enterprise dial-up server will directly connect to the enterprise intranet.

An Internet Service Provider (ISP) dial-up server provides access to the Internet, from which the thin client must access an enterprise PPTP VPN server that connects to the enterprise intranet.

The Dialup Manager is used to initiate a connection to a dialup server through a modem.

Selecting Dialup Manager in the Desktop menu opens the Dialup Manager dialog box. The Dialup Manager dialog box can also be set to open automatically on thin client start as described in "Configuring Network Settings."

Note

Applications accessed through a dialup connection generally should have the Optimize for low speed link option selected in the user profile or the Connection Settings (ICA or RDP) dialog box.

Figure 26 Dialup Manager

Use the following guidelines:

Dial Description/Protocol area - Lists a description and protocol of each dialup property entry created using the Dialup Property dialog box.

Dial - Initiates dialing for a currently-selected list entry. After initiation, a Dialup Status dialog box opens displaying messages and allowing you to refresh, reset, or disconnect the connection. If you are using a USB modem, the Serial Setup dialog box must be configured correctly to initiate a successful connection.

New - Opens the Dialup Property dialog box. Use this dialog box to create a new connection entry in the list of connections.

Edit - Opens the Dialup Property dialog box for a currently-selected list entry. Use this dialog box to edit the connection.

Delete - Deletes the dialup property record for a currently-selected list entry. A warning is displayed, asking you to confirm the deletion.

Caution

Deleting the record is irreversible. A deleted record must be recreated to be made available again.
