￿￿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. But the Prestige will only answer calls from the Remote Dial-in User.

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 User. The following sections give two examples of how the Prestige can be setup as a dial-in server for both.

Telecommuting

Telecommuting enables people to work at remote sites and yet still have access to resources in the business office. Typically, a telecommuter will uses a client workstation with TCP/IP or IPX and dial-out capabilities, e.g., a Windows 95 PC or a Macintosh and an ISDN Terminal Adapter (TA). For telecommuters to call in to your LAN, you need to configure a Dial-In User Profile for each
