1.5.3 Remote 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, e.g., Windows 95, to dial in to access the network resources without physically being in the office. Either PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) or CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) authentication can be used to control the access from the remote users. You can also use callback for security and/or accounting purposes. Figure 1-6 shows how a remote user can connect to the corporate office.
