4.1Telecommuting

Telecommuting enables people to work at remote sites and yet still have access to the resources in the business office. Typically, a telecommuter will use a client workstation with TCP/IP or IPX and dial-out capabilities (for example, a Windows 95 PC or a Macintosh) connected to a Modem or an ISDN Terminal Adapter (ISDN TA). For telecommuters to call in to your LAN, you need to configure a Dial-In User Profile for each telecommuter. Additionally, you need to configure the Default Dial-In Setup to set the operational parameters for all dial-in users. You can configure up to eight Remote Dial-in Users for your Prestige.

An example of Remote Dial-in User application, telecommuting, is shown in Figure 4-1.
