110 CHAPTER 8: CONFIGURING THE DUAL 56K LAN MODEM FOR DIAL-IN SUPPORT
Configuring a LAN
Modem Using
Single-User Dial-out
Access
To configure a LAN Modem that will use the Single-User scenario to access a
remote LAN Modem, you create a Private Network Service Provider profile
much as you would for standard Private Network access. You must first, however,
perform the additional step of changing the LAN Modem’s IP address. This is
because the remote LAN Modem’s IP address is identical, by default.
Before You Start the
Configuration
Before you start the configuration, you should already have completed the
following steps:
■ Run the EZ-LAN Wizard or performed the TCP/IP and IP Address check on the
workstation you are using to configure the client LAN Modem, as described in
Chapter 3.
■ Installed the client LAN Modem hardware, as described in Chapter 4 (steps will
differ slightly if you are using a regular 56K LAN Modem).
■ Changed the LAN Modem’s IP address, as described below (this prevents a
possible IP address conflict with the server-side LAN Modem).
Changing the LAN Modem’s
IP Address
To change the IP address, do the following.
1 From the LAN Modem Main Configuration Page, click the LAN Parameters icon.
The LAN (Ethernet) Parameters window appears.
2 In the IP address field, change the IP address to 192.168.2.1.
The LAN Modem re-initializes itself. The front panel LEDs flash, indicating a reset in
progress.
Once the LAN Modem IP address has been changed, you can no longer access the
LAN Modem until your workstation has been restarted and has acquired an IP
address belonging to the new LAN Modem subnet.
3 Restart your workstation.
The default IP address for the local LAN Modem will have been changed to
192.168.2.1. Similarly, all attached workstations, once re-started, will utilize an IP
address belonging to this new subnet (192.168.2.x).

Configuring a LAN
Modem (LAN
Site-to-Site) for Dial-out
Access
To configure a LAN Modem which will access a remote LAN Modem via the LAN
Site-to-Site scenario, you create a Private Network Service Provider profile,
much as you would for standard Private Network access. Remember, however,
that each LAN Modem you configure for client, dial-out access must also be
configured as a server-side LAN Modem.
Before You Start the
Configuration
Before you configure this LAN Modem for dial-out access, you should already have
done the following:
■ Configured the unit as a server-side LAN Modem, as described in “Part I.
Configuring the Server-side Dual 56K LAN Modem for Dial-in Support,”
page 99.
Because one of the initial steps of the server-side configuration is to assign each
LAN Modem a separate Site identity, (A, B, or C), which can cause the LAN
Modem to change its IP address, configuring the LAN Modem for server-side
