You can use callbacks as a security measure: e.g; require a callback to a phone number you specify. Or you can use callbacks to save money, as when you are connecting to your office from a hotel room.

You can set callback options when you secure your com- puter using the Log-in List. Specify a different option for each entry in the list if necessary.

To set callback options:

1Click the Security button on the LinkBar.

2Ensure that Log-in List (Protected System) is selected and click the Log-in List button.

3Click the Add button to create an entry in the Log-in List.

TIP If you want to change an existing entry, highlight it in the list of current users and click the Edit button.

4Click the Modem Callback tab.

5Click one of these options:

None Prevents callbacks.

Optional, Any Number Lets the guest user decide whether to be called back; users who choose to be called back can specify the number to dial. This is the most flexible of all the options.

. . . Allowing or requiring callbacks

Optional, Specified Number Only

Lets the guest

 

user decide whether to be called back to the number

 

you specify or to open the connection without any

 

callback. Only the number you specify in the Phone

 

Number box can be dialed for the callback.

Required, Any Number Requires guest user to be

 

called back but allows them to specify the number to

 

be dialed. The number can vary from session to ses-

 

sion.

 

Required, Specified Number Only

Requires the

guest user to be called back to the number you spec- ify in the Phone Number box.

6If you clicked either of the options for which you must specify a phone number, type that number in the Phone Number box.

Type the entire number, including any prefixes or suffixes necessary to dial the remote computer from this one. (Your Dialing Properties settings do not apply here.)

TIP Do not require callbacks from computers that con- nect by running Xchange Agents. The agents will not finish because they cannot perform callbacks.
