Configuring the Remote Connection
This section describes how to configure a typical Windows dial-up
session to access the modem connection on the SVxx53DXI. The instructions here relate
to a Windows XP configuration; other versions of Windows are similar, if not identical.
Please note the following:
• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) must be used; no other authentication
methods are supported.
• TCP/IP must be installed/enabled on the computer making the
connection, and must be used for the dial-up connection.
• The connection must be configured to obtain a dynamic IP address.
• The user name/password must match a user currently configured on
the SVxx53DXI.
• For best performance and to simplify the troubleshooting process,
firewall software should not be used with the dial-up connection.
