Multi-Media Site: Connection Configuration

Offering Many Dial-Up Connections to the Same Unit

More than one dial-up connection to the same Multi-Media unit may be needed. Table 3–2lists configurations, and the number of connections for best results. For example, Windows Dial-Up Networking can give unwanted results when some View operators are inside the Multi-Media unit’s local calling area and others are outside. Telephone companies can also force a Multi SA to setup an irregular local call—a local call across area codes.
