Prestige 100WH Internet Access Router

1.6.4Remote Access Server

Your Prestige allows remote users to dial-in and gain access to your LAN. This feature enables users that have workstations with remote access capabilities (for example, Windows 95), to dial in using a modem to access the network resources without physically being in the office. Figure 1-5 shows how a remote user can connect to its corporate office via a modem.
