Dial-in Console Access

Remote modem terminal emulator setups can dial in to either internal modem line and establish a remote console session, even though they are not using PPP. This allows Netopia Inc.'s “Up and Running, Guaranteed!” department or other administrator with the appropriate security to remotely configure your router for you. If you used SmartStart to configure your router, this option will be set to “No”.

To prevent any remote caller from establishing a remote session, leave the option Enable Dial-in Console Access set to “No”.

To allow access for Up and Running, Guaranteed! with the default name and password in place, toggle this option to “Yes”.
