Dial-in Server Configuration

You can configure your Prestige to receive calls from remote dial-in users, e.g., telecommuters, as well as remote nodes. There are several differences between dial-in users and remote nodes, as summarized in the table below.

This chapter discusses how to setup default dial-in parameters for both remote node and remote dial-in users. The following sections give two examples of how your Prestige can be configured as a dial-in server.

Due to memory constraints, your Prestige can only store a finite number of users locally. If there are more remote dial-in users than what Prestige can support locally, you can use an external RADIUS server to provide authentication service. For details on using a RADIUS server, see the Using RADIUS Authentication section in Chapter 11 - System Security.
