Adding a Private
Network Service
Provider
To add a service provider profile for connection to a remote private network,
follow the instructions provided in Chapter 6, “Configuring the Dual 56K LAN
Modem for Private Network Access.”
Editing Service
Provider Profiles
The following steps allow you to edit a previously configured service provider
connection.
1 From the Main Configuration Home Page, click the Service Providers image.
A drop-down list box appears which contains the names of your configured
service providers.
2 Select the name of the service provider connection profile you wish to edit.
The connection profile page appears.
3 Edit the fields as desired.
For more information on the particular fields, refer to the configuration
instructions for the appropriate type of service provider (ISP or Private Network), or
refer to the online help located in the bottom frame on the page.
4 When finished, click Submit.
Restricting Access to
Service Providers
If you wish to restrict a particular workstations’s access to one or more service
providers, refer to the instructions under “Associating Service Providers with
Workstations on the LAN.”
If you wish to password protect the configuration profile of the Dual 56K LAN
Modem, refer to “Locking and Unlocking the Configuration.”
Associating Service
Providers with
Workstations on the
LAN
When you configure a Service Provider on the Dual 56K LAN Modem, by default
that connection is made available to every workstation attached to the LAN. If, for
example, you set up an Internet connection through an ISP and have 25
workstations attached to the LAN, all 25 users will be able to access the Internet
through this connection. The ISP is, by default, “associated” with each user’s
workstation.
You can change these associations through the Workstation Parameters page. For
example, if you want only authorized workstations to have Internet access
through a Service Provider connection, you can associate that Service Provider
exclusively with those workstations. This would all only authorized users on the
LAN access to the Internet from their computers.
To change the association between service providers and specific workstations on
the LAN, follow these steps.
1 From the Main Configuration Home Page, click the Workstations icon.
The Workstation Parameters window appears.
2 Modify the associations for each listed workstation by leaving the box under each
listed Service Provider checked to allow the association, or by clearing the box to
disallow the association.
