Remote Access Configuration
The
Remote Access Configuration
menu is used to set up the router for dial-in and
dial-out connections over the ISDN line. An ISDN line has a D channel for
establishing connections and two B (Bearer) channels, which transmit and receive
the actual signals, whether voice or data. The two B channels can support two
independent remote connections or be banded together using Multi-link PPP to
implement Bandwidth on Demand (configured separately in the

The B-Channels can also carry voice and fax calls, which are routed to the telephone
jacks located on the rear of the router. Please note, however, that the DI-206 can
maintain only two connections at a time via the two B channels, whether the
connections are voice, data, dial-in users, remote networks or a combination thereof.

router can tailor the connection for each user. Once this is done, the remote user will
