Part II. Configuring a Client Device for Dial-out Access 113

6In the Alternate drop-down list box, you can select Alternate and enter the second LAN Modem telephone number, to be dialed if the first number is unavailable. Or, if the server LAN Modem was set up to allow Multilink dial-in calls, select Multilink and enter the second telephone number. Otherwise leave this field blank.

7Under Security, enter the Username and Password assigned to this LAN Modem when the Dial-in User Profile was created in the server-side LAN Modem.

8Under DNS Addresses, leave these values blank.

9Under Bandwidth Allocation, choose whether to always use one channel when dialing out to the server-side LAN Modem; whether to always use both channels, or whether to add the second channel as needed.

10Under Private Network Parameters, specify the parameters of the server-side LAN, as follows:

Private Network IP Address. Enter the IP address of the server-side LAN Modem. If the server-side LAN Modem was designated as Site A, enter 192.168.1.1 (if as Site B, enter 192.168.2.1; if as Site C, enter 192.168.3.1). If you chose not to assign a Site number to the server-side LAN Modem, enter 192.168.1.1, unless you manually changed the IP address as part of an advanced, static IP setup.

Subnet Mask: Set this value to 255.255.255.224.

Domain Name: Enter the domain name of the server-side LAN Modem, if applicable. This field may be left blank if you have entered a Private Network IP Address. If you want to access client LAN resources via domain name (for example, “Site A”), enter an appropriate domain name.

11Specify Callback parameters if you want to use this feature. Otherwise, leave the defaults.

Enable Callback: Choose to enable or disable Callback. By default Callback is disabled.

Callback Delay: Leave the default setting, which is 10 seconds. Callback Delay is the amount of time the server will wait before calling back the client.

Callback Timeout: Leave the default setting, which is 90 seconds. This is the amount of time that the client waits for the server to call back. Note that this value is in addition to the Call Back Delay value.

Callback Number: Enter the number that the far end will call back when the LAN Modem connects to the remote server. This allows for the reversing of toll charges for the dial-in call. Note that if a different number is configured on the server, the server callback number takes precedence.

Callback Username and Password: Enter the username and password of the callback user. These values are used to verify the server’s authenticity to the client. These fields should match the login and password fields on the server LAN Modem’s dial-in user parameters. Note that callback authentication is optional.

12Under Miscellaneous, make the following selections:

Choose whether or not you want dial-in users to access the Internet through the server LAN Modem’s ISP connection (if there one has been configured).

13Choose whether or not you would like to use Data Compression when transferring data.
