6 Dial-In Configuration
You can configure the Prestige to receive calls from Remote Dial-in Users (e.g. telecommuters) and Remote Nodes. There are several differences between Remote Dial-in Users and Remote Nodes:
1.The Prestige can make calls to or answer calls from the Remote Node. However, the Prestige will only answer calls from Remote Dial-in Users.
2.Each Remote Node can have its own set of parameters such as Bandwidth On Demand, Protocol, Security, etc.; while all Remote Dial-in Users share one common set, as defined in the Default Dial In Setup (Menu 13).
3.Generally, Remote Dial-in Users are individual users who dial in to the Prestige directly from their workstations, while Remote Nodes represent networks and are used for LAN-to-LAN connections.
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 the Prestige can be configured as a dial-in server for either or both.
By default, the Prestige allows information for up to eight users to be kept. If more than eight remote dial-in users can access the Prestige, you can use a separate RADIUS server to provide remote authentication services. For details on using a separate RADIUS server, see the Using RADIUS Authentication section in Chapter 12.
