Part II. Configuring a Client Device for Dial-out Access 111

Creating a Private Network Service Provider Profile

configuration first will ensure that the LAN Modem occupies a subnet different from the LAN Modem into which it will be dialing.

To create a Private Network Service Provider profile for dial-out access, have the following information ready:*

Telephone number(s) of the server-side LAN Modem

The Username and Password assigned to this LAN Modem when you created a Dial-in User Profile in the server-side LAN Modem

IP address and subnet mask of the server-side LAN Modem

If the server-side is Site A, use IP address 192.168.1.1; if Site B, use 192.168.2.1; if Site C, use 192.168.3.1. The subnet mask in each case is 255.255.255.224. If you chose not to assign a Site number to the server-side LAN Modem, the IP address and subnet mask can be found on the LAN Parameters page of the server-side LAN Modem (by default, 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.224, respectively).

In addition, if you want to use the Callback feature, have the following ready:

Callback Telephone number(s) (that is, the telephone number(s) of this LAN Modem)

Callback Username and Password (should match the values entered in the Dial-in Users Parameters page on the server-side LAN Modem)

*If this is the first (Site A) LAN Modem in a LAN Site-to-Site setup, and if you have not yet completed the Site B or Site C server-side configuration, then the Username and Password for this LAN Modem have not yet been defined. In this case, keep in mind as you follow the steps that “server-side” in this context may refer to the not-yet-configured Site B or Site C LAN Modem. In other words, some of the required Private Network values may not have been defined at this point.

These instructions are identical to those in Chapter 6 for shared access to a remote Private Network, except that they are specifically oriented toward the LAN Modem dial-in scenarios.

To create a Private Network Service Provider profile in the client LAN Modem:

1From the LAN Modem’s Main Configuration Page, click the Service Providers icon. The Service Provider Selection window opens.

2Select New (Private Network) from the drop-down list box, and click Select. The Private Network Parameters window appears, as shown in Figure 66.
