Dial-in Server Applications
You can configure your Prestige to receive calls from remote dial-in users (for example,
Telecommuters) and remote nodes. There are several differences between dial-in users and
remote nodes, as summarized in Table 6-1.
Table 6-1. Remote Dial-in Users/Remote Nodes Comparison Chart
Remote Dial-in Users Remote nodes
Your Prestige will only answer calls from dial-in
users. Your Prestige can make calls to or answer calls
from the remote node.
All dial-in users share one common set of
parameters, as defined in the Default Dial In
Setup (Menu 13). Each remote node can have its own set of
parameters such as call budget, etc.
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 your Prestige can be
configured as a dial-in server for both.
6.1 Telecommuting
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 (for example, a Windows 95 PC or a Macintosh) connected
to a modem. 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 dial-in
users for your Prestige.
