Configuring the LAN Modem from a Remote Location

This section provides instructions for dialing in to the Dual 56K LAN Modem from a remote location, using either a modem or another analog LAN Modem, in order to make configuration changes. To access the Dual 56K LAN Modem from a remote location, you must have a Web browser and any PPP dialer software, such as Windows 95/98’s Dial-Up Networking, installed on the remote computer.

Before you can make remote configuration changes to the LAN Modem, the default Remote Administration Username and Password must be known. Authorized users who dial in to the LAN Modem using the Remote Administration password to make remote configuration changes are allowed access only to the LAN Modem itself (that is, its configuration screens); not to any networked devices “behind” the unit. This prevents an unauthorized user from dialing in to a LAN Modem that has been configured for full dial-in support and making configuration changes.

If you are dialing in to the Dual 56K LAN Modem for remote configuration purposes only, it is not necessary to configure the unit for full dial-in support. However, for dial-in access to networked devices “behind” the LAN Modem, refer to Chapter 8 for instructions on configuring the LAN Modem for full dial-in support.
