8.1Remote Access Server

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 and dial-out capabilities, e.g., a Windows PC or a Macintosh, connected to a modem. For telecommuters to call in to your Prestige, 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.

An example of telecommuting is shown in Figure 8-1.
