DI-1162 Remote Access Router

When this is set to Out, the router will only make calls on the WAN interface specified in the Interface field below. Also, the outgoing calls will be subject to the Name, Password and Phone Number fields in the Outgoing section below.

When set to Both, the dial in and dial out conditions described above will both be observed.

•Interface – WAN 1] or WAN 2. This field is used to assign a remote network to a logical (virtual) interface called a virtual circuit. More than one remote network can be configured to use the same interface, but they cannot be connected at the same time. Thus, if you wish to have two WAN connections operate simultaneously, make sure they are configured on different interfaces. On the other hand, if you have two dial-out remote network profiles but wish to keep one line always open for dial-in users, make sure the two dial-out profiles use the same interface. In this case, the two profiles will share the same interface; the second one using it after the first one’s idle time has expired and it has relinquished it.

•Incoming

•Name – the maximum length is 64 characters. This username is for password challenges (authentication). The user dialing in must supply this username in order to be allowed access to the router.

•Password – this is the password associated with the above Name field.

•Rem CLID – Remote Caller ID. This is the telephone number of the Remote User and is used for security. When a phone number is entered in this field, the router will make sure that the incoming call is coming from the same phone number as the one defined here. In other words, the remote user can only be calling from the telephone number defined here, otherwise the call will not be accepted. This function is disabled if the field is left blank.
