Dial-in Setup 10-1
Chapter 10
Dial-in Setup
This chapter shows you how to configure your Prestige to receive calls from remote dial-in users
including telecommuters and remote nodes. This is done in SMT menus 13 and 14.
10.1 Dial-in Users Overview
There are several differences between dial-in users and remote nodes, as summarized in the next table.
Table 10-1 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; it will not make calls to them.
Your Prestige can make calls to and receive calls
from the remote node.
All remote dial-in users share one common set of
parameters, as defined in the Menu 14 Default
Dial-in User Setup.
Each remote node can have its own set of
parameters such as Bandwidth On Demand,
Protocol, Security, etc.
10.2 Default Dial-in User Setup
This section covers the default dial-in parameters. The parameters in menu 13 affect incoming calls from
both remote dial-in users and remote nodes until authentication is completed. Once authentication is
completed and if it matches a remote node, your Prestige will use the parameters from that particular remote
node.
10.2.1 CLID Callback Support For Dial-In Users
CLID (Calling Line IDentification) authentication affords you the security of limiting a user to only initiate
connections from a fixed location. The Prestige uses the caller ID sent by the switch to match against the
CLIDs in the database. Please note that for CLID authentication to work on the Prestige, your telephone
company must support caller ID. If the remote node requires mutual authentication, please fill in the O/G
Username and O/G Password fields. You must also fill in these fields when a dial-in user to whom we are
calling back requests authentication.
