Telecommuting
You can configure your Prestige to receive calls from Remote Dial-in Users (for example,
Telecommuters) and Remote Nodes. There are several differences between Remote Dial-in Users
and Remote Nodes, as summarized in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1. Remote Dial-in Users/Remote Nodes Comparison Chart
Remote Dial-in Users Remote Nodes
Your Prestige will only answer calls from Remote
Dial-in Users.
Your Prestige can make calls to or answer calls from
the Remote Node.
All Remote Dial-in Users share one common set of
parameters, as defined in the Default Dial In Setup
(Menu 13).
Each Remote Node can have its own set of
parameters such as Bandwidth On Demand,
Protocol, Security, etc.
Remote Dial-in Users are individual users who dial
in to your Prestige directly from their workstations.
Remote Nodes represent networks and are used for
LAN-to-LAN connections.
This chapter discusses how to setup Default Dial-in parameters for both Remote Node and
Remote Dial-in Users. The following sections give two examples of how your Prestige can be
configured as a dial-in server for either or both.
By default, your Prestige allows information for up to eight users to be kept. If more than eight
remote dial-in users can access your Prestige, you can use a separate RADIUS server to provide
remote authentication services. For details on using a separate RADIUS server, see the Using
RADIUS Authentication section in Chapter 11 - System Security.
