Configuring the Remote Connection
This section describes how to configure a typical Windows dial-up session to access the modem
connection on the SVx41HDI. The instructions here relate to a Windows XP configuration;
other versions of Windows are similar.
1. Open My Network Places from the desktop or the Start menu.
2. Click View network connections.
3. Click Create a new connection under Network Tasks.
4. The New Connection Wizard window will open. Click Next.
5. Select Connect to the Internet and click Next.
6. Select Set up my connection manually and click Next.
7. Select Connect using a dial-up modem and click Next.
8. In the space provided under ISP Name, type an appropriate name of your choosing for
the connection. Click Next.
9. In the space provided under Phone Number enter the phone number for the line to which
the SVx41HDI’s modem is connected. You may need to add the area code, country code,
or other digits needed to access the outside line as appropriate. When finished, click
Next.
10. Make your choice from Anyone’s use or My use only and click Next.
11. Beside User name enter the user name of any valid user created using the Web interface
of the SVx41HDI. Beside Password and Confirm password enter the password that the
user you entered above uses to access the Web interface.
12. This screen also includes 3 checkboxes. Uncheck all 3 checkboxes.
13. Click Next.
14. You may select to add a shortcut to the desktop for this connection. Click Finish.
You can now use this connection to access the SVx41HDI modem. Since you will still login to
the unit through the Web interface after establishing a dial-up connection, the user name on the
PPP connection and the user name used to access the Web interface do not have to be the same.
For security purposes, you may wish to create a separate user name for dial-up access.
The unit will negotiate a PPP connection based on the settings you provided, and no additional
scripting or configuration should be required under most circumstances. This is a summary of
the settings for use with non-Windows operating systems, or other versions of Windows besides
XP:
• 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 SVx41HDI.
• For best performance and to simplify the troubleshooting process, firewall software
should not be used with the dial-up connection.
