Configuring Dialup Modem Access
A USB dial-up modem or a USB-to-Serial adapter connected to a serial modem can be
used with the thin client to access a dial-up server.
The dial-up server may provide either of two paths to the enterprise intranet:
• An enterprise dial-up server will directly connect to the enterprise intranet.
• An Internet Service Provider (ISP) dial-up server provides access to the Internet, from
which the thin client must access an enterprise PPTP VPN server that connects to the
enterprise intranet.
The Dialup Manager is used to initiate a connection to a dialup server through a modem.
Selecting Dialup Manager in the Desktop menu opens the Dialup Manager dialog box.
The Dialup Manager dialog box can also be set to open automatically on thin client start
as described in "Configuring Network Settings."
Note
Applications accessed through a dialup connection generally should have
the Optimize for low speed link option selected in the user profile or the
Connection Settings (ICA or RDP) dialog box.

Use the following guidelines:
• Dial Description/Protocol area - Lists a description and protocol of each dialup
property entry created using the Dialup Property dialog box.
• Dial - Initiates dialing for a currently-selected list entry. After initiation, a Dialup Status
dialog box opens displaying messages and allowing you to refresh, reset, or
disconnect the connection. If you are using a USB modem, the Serial Setup dialog box
must be configured correctly to initiate a successful connection.
• New - Opens the Dialup Property dialog box. Use this dialog box to create a new
connection entry in the list of connections.
• Edit - Opens the Dialup Property dialog box for a currently-selected list entry. Use this
dialog box to edit the connection.
• Delete - Deletes the dialup property record for a currently-selected list entry. A warning
is displayed, asking you to confirm the deletion.
Caution
Deleting the record is irreversible. A deleted record must be recreated to be
made available again.
