CONFIGURING THE DUAL 56K LAN

8 MODEM FOR DIAL-IN SUPPORT

This chapter describes how to configure the LAN Modem for dial-in support. The following topics are covered.

Understanding Dial-in Basics

Understanding the Three Dial-in Profile Types

Part I. Configuring the Server-side Dual 56K LAN Modem for Dial-in Support

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

The configuration windows shown in this chapter may differ slightly from what is displayed on your computer.

Understanding Dial-inSetting up the LAN Modem for dial-in support is a two-part process involving the

Basics

following main steps:

 

Part I. Configuring the server-side LAN Modem to receive incoming, dial-in calls.

 

This includes:

 

Changing the Remote Administration Username and Password

 

Configuring Dial-in Global Parameters (general parameters that apply to

 

all dial-in calls.)

 

Creating a Dial-in User Profile for each dial-in profile (up to ten) that will

 

make incoming calls to the server-side Dual 56K LAN Modem.

 

Part II. Configuring a client device (such as an analog modem or second LAN

 

Modem) for dial-out access to the server-side LAN Modem

 

Since the device that dials out to the server-side LAN Modem may also be a LAN

 

Modem, the terms “server” or “server-side” and “client” or “client-side” are used

 

throughout this chapter to distinguish between the LAN Modem that receives

 

dial-in calls (server-side) and the LAN Modem or other device that makes dial-out

 

calls (client-side). In some cases, the same LAN Modem will be configured as both

 

a server-side LAN Modem and a client-side device.

 

The Dual 56K LAN Modem can only accept dial-in calls from another analog

 

device, such as an analog modem, a 56K LAN Modem or Dual 56K LAN Modem,

 

or another analog router. It cannot accept dial-in calls from an ISDN terminal

 

adapter or an ISDN LAN Modem.
