Chapter 6
Dial-In Configuration
You can configure the router to receive calls from remote dial-in users (for example,
telecommuters) and remote nodes. Several differences exist between remote dial-in users and
remote nodes:
• The router can make calls to or answer calls from the remote node, but the remote dial-in user
calls are incoming or callback only.
• Each remote node can have its own set of parameters such as bandwidth on demand, protocol,
and security; however, all remote dial-in users share one common set, as defined in the Default
Dial In Setup (Menu 13).
• Typically, remote dial-in users are individual users who dial in to the router directly from
their workstations; and remote nodes represent networks and are used for LAN-to-LAN
connections.
This chapter discusses how to set up default dial-in parameters for both a remote node and a
remote dial-in user.
Default Dial-In Setup
This section covers the default dial-in parameters. The parameters in Menu 13 affect incoming
calls from all remote dial-in users and remote nodes before authentication is completed. After
authentication is completed, if it matches a remote node, the router uses parameters from that
particular remote node.
