Dial-In Configuration 59
Dial-In Configuration
You can configure the Prestige to receive calls from Remote Dial-
in Users (e.g. telecommuters) and Remote Nodes. There are several
differences between Remote Dial-in Users and Remote Nodes:
1. The Prestige can make calls to or answer calls from the Remote
Node. However, the Prestige will only answer calls from
Remote Dial-in Users.
2. Each Remote Node can have its own set of parameters such as
Bandwidth On Demand, Protocol, Security, etc.; while all
Remote Dial-in Users share one common set, as defined in the
Default Dial In Setup (Menu 13).
3. Generally, Remote Dial-in Users are individual users who dial
in to the Prestige directly from their workstations, while
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 the Prestige can be configured
as a dial-in server for either or both.
By default, the Prestige allows information for up to eight users to
be kept. If more than eight remote dial-in users can access the
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
12.
